"As a hospital that sees people who require sexual reassignment
surgery, we can verify the critical nature of it being accessible – it
is no exaggeration to call it "life-saving surgery" to those who need
it."

I believe the key to his statement is that last bit. The gender-keepers at Clarke decide in their way "who needs it."
