https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/cleveland-clinic-establishes-second>The Cleveland Clinic has come under fire for what many in the trans community, their families, and their providers have described as the latest in a series of betrayals from medical institutions capitulating to the Trump regime’s politicized attacks on care.>The Department of Justice announced last week it settled with the Clinic, which operates in three states and four countries, over its provision of gender-affirming care (or as the White House is trying to rebrand it, “sex rejecting procedures”).>Gender-affirming care for minors, which may include supportive psychotherapy, puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and sometimes surgery, is not federally unlawful, despite Trumpian chest-beating in the form of executive orders trying to mislead Americans into believing otherwise. Ohio banned medical transition for those under 18 years of age back in 2024.>Although the Clinic already agreed to wind down its pediatric gender care, this didn’t sate the DOJ’s anti-trans crusade. So they went a step further.>“The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (‘Cleveland Clinic’) has entered into agreements with the Department and the Ohio Attorney General that include a decades-long commitment to not perform or offer sex-rejecting procedures—which includes the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones—for minors,” a federal press release reads.
So this means they will be affirming former trans kids as gender non conforming gays and helping them find suitable same sex relationships and acceptance as gay with family, schools, jobs, sports, activities, and friends?
