Attached is a statement and list of demands from Healthcare Workers for Trans Youth
The importance and significance of gender affirming care cannot be overstated. These surgeries save lives. To deny these services is a breach of professional ethics, as well as SCH's own policies. SCH is a global leader in providing gender affirming care and must not step down to appease executive orders, violating Washington state law. It is their responsibility to defend their patients and employees from fascist threats. We refuse the notion that federal funding will be secured by sacrificing transgender, nonbinary, intersex, or gender diverse young people. The American Psychological Association's amicus brief for the upcoming Supreme Court case United States v.
Skrmetti states, "every major medical and mental health organization in the United States follows guidelines that allow for medical interventions for adolescents when deemed medically appropriate by a licensed medical professional." We ask, were these cancellations done in consultation with their licensed medical providers, or accountants and lawyers? This action directly intervenes with SCH's Zero Suicide Initiative and placates a transphobic federal administration that has no intention to fund healthcare at all. We gather to express our concerns for, and our solidarity with trans youth. Let our presence show our children, niblings, and siblings that trans adulthood is beautiful. Together, we will ensure they get there too. List of demands from Healthcare Workers for Trans Youth:
We demand that Seattle Children's Hospital resume gender affirming surgeries immediately. This includes resuming scheduling, coordinating, completing surgery and providing post surgical care for all gender affirming surgeries regardless of age of the patient.
We demand that Seattle Children's Hospital leadership deliver a statement in support of gender affirming care, the gender clinic, and Washington State anti-discrimination law; a statement that does not use excuses such as finances and insurance reimbursements. Going forward, implementing a communication strategy in which all community partners and referral sources have access to a clarified statement from SCH which details how to refer patients, who can receive treatment at Seattle Children's Hospital, and which procedures are included in the Surgical Gender Affirmation Program service line List of demands from Healthcare Workers for Trans Youth: We demand that members of hospital executive leadership reach out directly to those families affected by cancelled surgeries, attempting to repair the harm caused by this sudden exclusion from care. Specifically, to reimburse impacted families for any travel, medical supplies, meals, time away from work, or any other personal cost which was earned due to planned leave (inclusive of caretakers) to accommodate their surgeries.
We demand that Seattle Children's Hospital direct it's legal resources to defend existing, evidence-based care that has been approved by their licensed medical professionals. Further more, legal arguments should defer to protections under state law and be prepared to set precedence for its defense of all Seattle Children's Hospital patients, practitioners, staff, and alleged principles.
