My medication got taken away from me…
Last Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 children’s hospital called and informed me and my family that they will no longer be able to give gender affirming care treatments to me (hrt). At first we were confused: how? When? Why? Why is this happening here? Then we found out there was an executive order to stop giving gender affirming care to minors. I’m 17, and have been on testosterone for 4 years. Luckily I have some extras that actually bring me to my 18th birthday. I cried, a lot. I actually didn’t even find out until the end of the night because I was at work and my parents didn’t want to upset me before I went in. They said I need my job, true but dame it hurts. If I’m being honest it doesn’t feel real, and I haven’t lifted my Bible because of it. I don’t know why but I blame God but I think it’s because they use his name to justify their means. It pains me… I’m not looking for advice or sympathy but nearly to give a warning. No one is fighting, and those that are-are being ignored. There isn’t enough being done to ensure our safety and future in America. If you can, I suggest leaving; if you can’t, well I guess we’ll find out together.
