    It’s so frustrating that the hospital didn’t directly deny the allegations of chemical treating 4 yr olds or performing surgery on elementary kids when obviously they had the facts at hand.

    Instead, it went beyond the law, not only in treatment, but also removing any verbal support for transgender people from the website and stopped communicating with their own patients and even their own staff.

    Completely threw their principles under the bus out of fear.
