“We want to make sure there's an environment where people's identities, their pronouns and their life experiences are clearly understood and respected,” Meghan Stabler, the organization’s first and only transgender board member, says.
Planned Parenthood removed its president, Dr. Leana Wen, from office earlier this week, less than a year after her appointment. Shortly after the news broke Tuesday,claiming that Wen’s alleged refusal to use transgender-inclusive language contributed to the “philosophical differences” she had with the nonprofit health care organization.
Dr. Leana Wen stands in the emergency department at Brigham and Women's Hospital during her medical residency, in Boston on Aug. 14, 2012.Stabler, a Texas business executive and longtime LGBTQ advocate, joined Planned Parenthood’s board in May. She denied any knowledge of Wen avoiding trans-inclusive language.
When asked to expand on what type of essential care trans patients are offered at Planned Parenthood centers, Stabler listed breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.The number of Planned Parenthood centers that offer transgender patients hormone therapy has risen dramatically over the past several years.
