BREAKING: Vanderbilt Pediatric Gender Clinic Pausing Transgender Surgeries On Minors
The Vanderbilt Pediatric Gender Clinic has agreed to pause all gender transition surgeries on minors, according to a letter from the clinic to Tennessee lawmakers obtained by The Daily Wire.
Vanderbilt also told the lawmakers that it would protect conscientious objectors.
“We are pausing gender affirmation surgeries on patients under 18 while we complete this review, which may take several months,” the letter says. The clinic says they do five such “gender-affirming surgical procedures per year” since 2018.
The news was celebrated by Tennessee Republicans, who probed the clinic after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh drew attention to the clinic performing double mastectomies on minors.
“I’m pleased to report that we’ve heard back from VUMC & they have agreed to pause gender transition surgery on minors. Additionally, they will always honor conscientious objectors. We appreciate VUMC’s response to the @tnhousegop deep concerns,” Rep. Jason Zachary announced on Twitter Friday afternoon.
