Students at the Rochester Institute of Technology protested last week to get hormone replacement therapy treatments back on campus.
Annamaria Kontor, a doctor at RIT who was providing hormone therapy to students, was fired by the school after they said she exceeded boundaries as a primary care physician, according to the Democrat and Chronicle. The New York Division of Human Rights received a complaint from Kontor and later found the school may have discriminated in firing her.
"A lot of students come into the Q Center with questions (about access) and we can't really help them because we don't have much information," RIT student Natasha Amadasun said. "HRT is not a luxury that people just want — they need this. It's a medication.”
The school is having a comprehensive review in the meantime of what services it provides to transgender people, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.
