Hello, my name is [Name], and I’m a concerned [patient/parent/trans person/ally/New Yorker]. I’m calling about NYU Langone’s reported cancellation of gender-affirming care appointments for trans patients under 19. This preemptive policy change, in response to an Executive Order that is not settled law, is harmful and cruel.
The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, consider this essential care. Gender-affirming care is proven to be life-saving. A 2022 peer-reviewed study published by the AMA found that it reduces depression by 60% and suicidality by 73% among trans youth. Canceling these appointments puts the mental and physical health of trans youth at serious risk.
