Thank you! As someone who participated as a patient in taking a year working with medical staff to design a gender pathways clinic, and later as an employee supporting the patient advisory council that worked with staff to assure the clinic was meeting its patients needs, these executive orders are beyond concerning.
And as an 80 year old transgender woman who had to raise money to pay for her own gender confirming surgeries in 2012 at a time when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services was denying them I am horrified. I went on to play a small role in convincing CMS to stop those denials and I am proud of having done so. I hope the law suits challenging these executive orders are successful.
