The University of Michigan is ending gender-affirming care for minors, leaving an untold number of families with fewer options and greater uncertainty.
Gender-affirming care for minors is legal in Michigan, and major medical and mental-health associations recognize it as best practice.
This comes after it received a federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation into gender-affirming care for minors.
Equality Michigan’s Emme Zanotti joined Robyn Vincent to discuss the impacts on Michigan families.
Editor’s Note: After this conversation aired, Corewell Health, a major healthcare provider in Michigan, also announced the end of its gender-affirming care.
