A children’s hospital in Shanghai is the new home for China’s first ever clinic for transgender kids.The Children’s Hospital of Fudan University announced earlier this month that they would create a clinic to help trans children “reduce the negative emotions” they may feel and also help “improve their family relationships”.The clinic officially opened last week, and is China’s first of its kind facility to support trans children with their gender identity.
Chinese tabloid Global Times had published a study of 1,309 people from 32 provinces in 2019 that revealed that transgender students had higher rates of severe depression and anxiety compared to the general population.
