They don't have a medical safety net. we're really the one option for them. And if our clinic does not continue to offer this type of care, these are our kids who are going to go without hormones. I prescribe puberty blockers. My work as a gender affirming care provider isn't just blockers and hormones, but those are medications that we know are life-saving.

We know that unfortunately kids will suicide if they don't have access to those medications. And so I think talking about funding, talking about

And these bigger shifts politically, you know, are things that unfortunately a lot of the conversations I'm having are really coming just down to safety and safety planning and figuring out support networks and talking about creative ways to get hormones if we can't prescribe them.

So, yeah, I'll speak to that a little bit on the prescriber side, because I think, you know, having direct contact with someone who works in the administration is really the only way that I have really been able to get any updates. So as a health care provider, it's been utter chaos. Basically, every day we've gotten different messaging around whether or not appointments can be scheduled.

New patients can, you know, schedule intakes. whether or not we're able to prescribe these lifesaving medications. And no one knows exactly. Gender-affirming care is basically healthcare. There's nothing that separates it. There's no hard line. There's no clear distinction. It is... medically indicated evidence-based care.

So saying you can't do gender-affirming care, it literally doesn't make any sense in terms of what we do as prescribers. And on my end, I've been faced with intimidation. I've been faced with kind of whisper networks of misinformation coming from administration trying to get us to stop prescribing because they do see this type of care as a liability. I'm still prescribing.

There is no state law in the state that I am in that prevents my ability to practice to the full extent of my scope. There are also no medical indications for me to stop prescribing. And I'm ethically bound as a nurse practitioner to do what I believe is best for my patients, which is to continue to provide them with the care that they need. But it's terrifying.
