Something else about Vanderbilt's capitulation: VUMC said it would only offer “nonsurgical gender-affirming care for adults 19 years and older.” But 18-year-olds are adults. Tennessee law bans this care for people *under* 18, so VUMC is once again overcomplying
Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...
Vanderbilt Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults
The hospital cited “operational limitations” for the decision.

Het voormalige VUmc dreigt te verdwijnen, en dat kan flinke gevolgen hebben voor Amsterdammers. Zorgbestuurders in de stad denken aan ingrijpende veranderingen, zoals het verhuizen van alle academische zorg naar Zuidoost. Ook het OLVG moet flink afslanken.

Voormalig VUmc moet deuren sluiten, staat in geheime plannen
Het voormalige VUmc in Amsterdam sluit voor 2035 de deuren en het OLVG-ziekenhuis moet aanzienlijk afslanken. Dat beogen zorgbestuurders in de regio van de hoofdstad, blijkt uit een intern rapport.

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year.
This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist.

Happy to announce that I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure at VUMC. What a wild and fun ride it has been… I couldn’t have achieved this without my amazing trainees’ dedication, my family’s patience and the support from colleagues and mentors. Let’s keep swimming. Cheers 🥂!
