I couldn't get a ****ing steroid shot for allergies at Beutel when I was a student. Glad A&M is shutting it down but it never should've happened.

Texas A&M Health Services officials announced Monday it will no longer be offering gender-affirming services to students, including hormone replacement therapy, at the Beutel Student Health Center.
The email obtained by KBTX Monday afternoon was sent to students impacted by the decision from Senior Director of Primary & Specialty Medical Care Dr. Tiffany Skaggs.
The end of services used by transgendered students becomes effective Aug. 1, 2024.
"We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to students who have relied on our practice for these services. Please know that this decision was made after a thorough assessment of our resources, capabilities, and patient needs," said Dr. Skaggs.
"We are committed to supporting all our patients in their healthcare journey. Our team can assist you in finding alternative Gender Affirming Care from compassionate providers with expertise in this area," she said.
