Boston Children's Hospital has reaffirmed its commitment to providing gender-affirming care for trans youth and says it won't give in to bullying by the current administration.
"Boston Children's Hospital has always been and always will be committed to providing the best care for ALL of our patients, regardless of their gender identity," reads a statement on the website of the hospital's Gender Multispeciality Service (GeMS) program. "The belief that all children deserve the opportunity to live, grow and thrive with love and support, is foundational to who we are and what we do."
The statement said the hospital is "proud" that GeMS is the country's first pediatric and adolescent trans health program.
"We believe in a gender-affirmative model of care, which supports transgender and gender diverse youth in the gender in which they identify," it continued. "This is a standard of care grounded in scientific evidence, demonstrating its benefits to the health and well-being of transgender and gender diverse youth. In addition to supporting our patients and families, we stand with our colleagues who may identify as transgender or gender diverse, those who provide care to transgender youth and who are allies to the transgender community."
