Incredibly disappointed in my institution @umich.edu for caving to political pressure and choosing to stop offering gender-affirming care to minors. Not excusable.

I’m sure they only did it so they wouldn’t lose billions in federal fundings. Back in 3 years.

Gender-affirming care is essential, says this granma, attempting for years to keep her beloved, alive.💞

Sad times to see universities be at the forefront of cowardice and capitulation.

Another institution @umich.edu that lives on its reputation and not on its current actions.

Politicians and organization have been tossing the lgbtq community under the bus for years to gain political points. It’s always been that way.

I remember when physicians used to take their oaths so seriously they would display a modicum of courage to get their patients the treatments they need and deserve

The problem with these capitulations is theyre very shortsighted. Fascists always come back with more demands.

Also born and raised in Ann Arbor, and did a portion of my medical training a UMich hospital. I’m actually surprised too, and it’s hard to surprise me with institutional cowardice these days

MTU doesn’t offer medical care aside from their sports medicine which is…lacking at best and not due to trump’s dictatorship. What are you referring to?

They’ve dropped the wording, not the attitude surrounding it. Campus culture is the same.

It not just medicine, it anything equalizes opportunity or does alternative energy research and climate change research. MTU, like many, has just folded w/o a fight. www.mininggazette.com/news/2025/03...
