By Amanda Musa and Christina Maxouris, CNN The FBI on Friday arrested a Texas man who allegedly called and threatened a Boston doctor who was providing care to transgender individuals, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a news release.
Threats have been made toward doctors at gender-affirming health centers around the country following misinformation spreading on social media about trans care for youth.
The threat to a doctor affiliated with a Boston LGBTQ education center comes after false information about Boston Children’s Hospital spread online, officials said.
Prosecutors say the suspect called and threatened the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center after misinformation spread online about procedures at Boston Children's Hospital.
