Back in August, the University of Michigan stopped performing gender transition surgery for minors.
The Gateway Pundit reported at the time:
In an exclusive statement to Talking Points Memo UM shared, “The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, is one of multiple institutions across the country that has received a federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation into gender-affirming care for minors.”
“In light of that investigation, and given escalating external threats and risks, we will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors.”
“The University of Michigan, including Michigan Medicine, is one of multiple institutions across the country that has received a federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation into gender-affirming care for minors,” the statement reads. “In light of that investigation, and given escalating external threats and risks, we will no longer provide gender affirming hormonal therapies and puberty blocker medications for minors.”
Now the faculty senate is trying to reverse this decision. They want the school to perform these surgeries. It’s insane.
FOX News reports:
University of Michigan faculty votes overwhelmingly for resolution to reverse ban on minor gender procedures
Faculty at the University of Michigan voted overwhelmingly this month for a resolution to reinstate “gender-affirming care” procedures for minors at the university’s medical center, Michigan Medicine.
The Faculty Senate voted on Nov. 3 to reinstate “gender-affirming care” procedures for minors under the age of 19, with 2,432 voting yes, 555 voting no and 651 faculty abstaining from the vote, according to The Michigan Daily.
The resolution appears to imply that it is discriminatory to withhold such procedures from transgender minors, as it claims “cisgender individuals under 19 years of age continuing to receive various medically necessary forms of care including hormones and hormone blockers, a disparity that renders the decision to withhold those treatments from trans individuals discriminatory.”
On its website, Michigan Health defines “gender-affirming care” as “medical, surgical, mental health and other supportive services for transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming patients.”
The American people made it clear in the 2024 election that they do not want this.
We don’t allow minors to get tattoos, even with parental consent. Why on earth would we want to allow children to get permanent, life altering surgeries?
It’s doesn’t matter how loudly the American people say no, the left simply will not take no for an answer. They have not changed one thing about their behavior or agenda since the election.
