According to a report from The Global Times, the multidisciplinary clinic is based at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai.
The facility is set to be filled with an array of departments including psychology, endocrine and genetic metabolic, and urology departments.
The state-backed publication also described the facility as a “bridge between transgender children, parents, doctors and various circles of society.” In terms of the origins behind the clinic, the hospital revealed that it was created due to a recent case involving a transgender teenager.
At the start of their puberty journey, the anonymous teen began to experience anxiety and depression over their gender identity.
