The ACLU’s deputy director for transgender justice says harassment from the right wing has been escalating and could cause a chilling effect, where patients don’t feel safe going to their doctors.
Some organizations have responded by removing web pages about the clinics — which can include identifying information about the staff — and moving appointments temporarily from in-person to virtual. Others, like Lurie, have canceled events.
“[The campaigns] are very much aimed at demonizing the care, attacking clinics, and creating incendiary, untrue narratives that threaten the ability of people to safely access care,” says the ACLU’s Chase Strangio. “When you see your doctor being attacked for helping you, it’s very difficult,” Brooke says, adding that her doctor, who she’s been seeing for over two years, is the best she’s ever had. “She’s very sweet and compassionate and understands what she’s talking about. She knows what she’s doing.”
VUMC released a statement saying Walsh’s posts “misrepresent facts about the care the Medical Center provides to transgender patients.” The medical center took down the web page about its transgender health clinic andFor people who attend these clinics, a lot is at stake.
