Elliot Deybach, a nineteen-year-old U.S. citizen studying at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, describes their experience of accessing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at the McGill Wellness Hub as “seamless.”
Since Executive Order 14187 went into effect, the Trump Administration has taken aggressive action to ensure that young people like Deybach are prevented from accessing gender-affirming care.
They say there were just two doctors providing HRT at the Wellness Hub as of June.
But Deybach says they sought care at the McGill Wellness Hub specifically for its efficiency, citing shorter wait times than nearby clinics.
Several trans students told The Progressive that they found Montreal to be a safe and welcoming environment for trans students.
