A program which offers mental health services and hormone treatments to transgender children may resume the therapy for new patients for the first time since November. On Thursday, a judge temporarily cleared away legal barriers to the practice.
mental health services and hormone treatments
Thursday’s temporary restraining order banned those restrictions for the next two weeks, and within hours after the decision, five new patients had been scheduled at the center. Since November, the clinic has had to turn away about 100 families with children who wanted to begin the treatment at the center, Aldous said. The center had also been told that starting next month, it would no longer be allowed to start gender-affirming hormone therapy for any patients, including those already being seen by mental health doctors there.
Bellan wrote in her Thursday order that Children’s Medical Center had violated the law by “interfering with, controlling, or otherwise directing any physician’s professional judgment” and by “discriminating against patients on the basis of the patient’s gender identity and directing to violate the law by discriminating against patients on the basis of a patient’s gender identity.”
