A pediatric transgender clinic associated with The Medical University of South Carolina has closed following the South Carolina Freedom Caucus (SCFC) filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and proposing a law banning sex-change operations. SCFC Chairman Adam Morgan (R-Greenville) said, “Officials from MUSC have informed us that they will no longer be providing morally and ethically repugnant ‘gender affirming care’ that results in irreparable harm for minors,” noting that “this is a huge win for the Freedom Caucus. But more importantly, it is a huge win for childhood innocence.”
From Breitbart:
The SCFC submitted FOIA requests for medical records after the American Accountability Foundation tweeted an excerpt from a research report explaining that children as young as 4 years old had visited the center for “treatment.” The document also noted that 62 percent of children who visited the clinic had received puberty blockers or hormone therapy. The SCFC also announced their plans to pursue legislation that would ban sex change surgeries for those under the age of 18 in a press conference alongside Congressman Ralph Norman, doctors, nurses, and parents. MUSC responded to the SCFC’s record request while also adding that the university “no longer provides pediatric/adolescent transgender hormonal care.”
