Under Pressure From Trump DOJ, Michigan Hospital Ends Transgender Treatments for Minors

The University of Michigan’s hospital system announced Monday evening that it would no longer be providing transgender “therapies” or “medications” for minors, citing pressure from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

Referencing a “federal subpoena as part of a criminal and civil investigation,” Michigan Medicine, the university’s health department, stated that it will “no longer provide gender-affirming hormonal therapies and puberty-blocker medications for minors.”

The statement added, “We do not perform surgical therapies for minors. We will continue to support our patients for all other care.”

The announcement follows the July release of dozens of subpoenas from the Department of Justice investigating clinics “involved in performing transgender medical procedures on children.”

“Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology will be held accountable by this Department of Justice,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in July.
