/Seattle Children’s Hospital has halted gender-affirming care, abandoning its commitment to providing comprehensive, life-saving treatment. Denying this essential care—recognized and supported by all major medical organizations—will cause unnecessary pain and suffering for some of our most vulnerable patients.
We demand an immediate reversal of this decision. If administrators refuse, we are prepared to take further action. We are also calling on Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown to investigate the hospital for potential violations of state laws against gender discrimination.
