The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association want the U.S. attorney general to investigate and prosecute people making threats to children's hospitals that provide gender-affirming care.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the Children’s Hospital Association wrote to Garland on Monday. Their demands come amid a spate of threats against doctors and institutions that provide medical care for transgender kids, sometimes including hormones or surgery for older teens.
Children’s hospitals nationwide have substantially increased security and are working with law enforcement, while some providers now need constant security, the associations said. Garland did not immediately comment publicly, and a spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday. Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said this summer that the Department of Justice will ensure equal protection of transgender people under the law.that its doctors and other staffers were being threatened with violence over its surgical program for transgender youths.
