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.💞
Fuck.
Yup. Those who caved, will be remembered
Sad times to see universities be at the forefront of cowardice and capitulation.
I am so sorry.
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
Thanks for giving me someone to block. Disgusting.
It’s all fun and games until a 4 year old with precocious puberty needs hormone blockers.
They are terrible community partners - in so many ways- this is horrific.
“Leaders and best” at capitulating!
Are there any students under 18 at Michigan?
I guess they never really believed in equatable care to begin with.
The problem with these capitulations is theyre very shortsighted. Fascists always come back with more demands.
I am a U of M grad, born and raised in Ann Arbor. I am surprised the medical school caved like that.
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
Are you fucking kidding me? WTH?
Not excusable at all. And not surprising. “Leaders and Best” who are neither.
I’ve been a Michigan fan since birth and my son is applying to go to college there. This is very disappointing.
My alma mater, Michigan Tech, isn't any better. Contemplating putting some Canadian university in my will instead of MTU.
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?
dropping anything that they think might run afoul of trump's illegal DEI mandates.
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...
You’re not wrong there. But they also don’t have the standing that say, Harvard does, to stand up.
We just toured MT a few months ago, and the person who gave us our tour was optimistic that things would be OK for them. This makes me sad.
oh frig no.
