Statement in Support of Professor Clayton

We, the Senior Board of the Vanderbilt Law Review, would like to acknowledge the recent controversy surrounding the Vanderbilt Pediatric Health Clinic and Vanderbilt’s own Professor Ellen Clayton. We unequivocally condemn the transphobic and hateful rhetoric regarding gender-affirming care and add our voice to the chorus of support for Professor Clayton.

As noted by the American Medical Association, ceasing gender-affirming care is considered a “dangerous governmental intrusion into the practice of medicine and will be detrimental to the health of transgender children across the country.” Professor Clayton, a physician and professor of pediatrics, law, and health policy, is not alone in her commitment to gender-affirming care.

Finally, we commend Dr. Clayton for her courage. Facing personal and invasive attacks, Dr. Clayton has not wavered in her dedication to her scholarship or duty as a physician.

An Open Letter from Vanderbilt Law Review

Like all of you, we have intently watched the events that have unfolded these past few weeks, deeply saddened and angered by the persistent violence perpetrated against Black people and communities. While the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have captured our collective attention, there have been countless other Black lives whose unjust murders burden our souls with inescapable grief. We are in mourning.

COVID-19 Update

We would like to inform our authors, subscribers, and readers that due to COVID-19 disrupting our publisher’s workflow, we anticipate significant delays in the physical printing and delivery of our March 2020, April 2020, and May 2020 issues. We will continue to publish online according to schedule, and we will ensure physical copies are printed and delivered as soon as it is possible to do so without risking the health and safety of the greater VLR family.
