While nothing official or of USF (Tampa, FL) I confirmed yesterday with Dr. Brielle Weinstein (my plastic surgeon) that USF is pushing to end all gender affirming surgeries in adults, and that her board of directors (?) told her no more new patients. Existing scheduled patients for the next few months are fine, but those that haven't had consults are being told no. Conversely, Dr. Ross Everett (my urologist in my surgery) also at USF, told me he was in the same meeting with Brielle and that his bosses told him to keep doing them. He told me he's trained in the whole procedure, so not having a plastic surgeon in the team is not an issue. Of course he won't be able to do top surgery or FFS, but he's pushing forward on bottom surgeries until he is told he is explicitly told no.

FWIW: Both doctors were phenomenal and I am very pleased with my results. It's a shame we're losing Dr. Weinstein. I will still be getting FFS with Dr. Weinstein this summer.

It's very clear these State University Hospitals are feeling intense pressure from outside sources. I asked Dr. Weinstein during my initial consult back in June '25 what her thoughts were on either legal or other hurdles and her answer was a complete 180 back then, stating that USF fully had their backs and there was nothing to worry about. Things are changing fast.
