A trans advocacy group in Montreal says McGill University's student health clinic has refused hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to some U.S. students because of fears of repercussions from the Trump administration.
The Montreal Trans Patient Union (TPU), an advocacy group for trans health care in Montreal, has held regular meetings with doctors from the Student Wellness Hub over the last few years to discuss how to improve care for trans patients.
TPU member Emma Gimbert was at the most recent meeting in March, where she says doctors from the wellness hub mentioned a change in policy.
"They said they wouldn't be prescribing HRT to American citizens who were under 19 because of the executive order that Donald Trump issued," Gimbert said.
