Unbelievable: Vienna Plans to Open a Transgender Medicine Center

The new coalition running the city of Vienna has developed its own program for LGBTQ individuals. Among the plans is the creation of a “transgender medicine center” in the city, along with various other measures to support LGBTQ groups.

The draft has sparked outrage among the Austrian opposition. Politicians from the OVP and FPO see the plan as unnecessary and argue that the city leadership should focus on more urgent problems.

“There is no need for a transgender medicine center,”

OVP city councilor Caroline Hungerlander told Exxpress. She fears that such an institution would abandon goal-oriented counseling and be dominated by lobbying organizations.

“We fundamentally oppose using taxpayers’ money to further support transgenderism. When establishing new institutions, it is essential that critical voices are also heard. Under no circumstances should activists and counselors be mixed. It must be made clear who is giving advice to children and youth, and who is acting as a lobbyist on ideological issues,”

Hungerlander emphasized.

The FPO also harshly criticized the city’s plan for the new center.

“The woke madness is taking over Vienna completely. Instead of working to bring Vienna’s healthcare system back among the best in the world, Mayor Ludwig bows to the LGBTQ community,”

stated FPO representative Maximilian Krauss in a press release.

He finds it unacceptable that “tens of millions of euros” are being allocated to “a fringe group,” while pensioners are facing cutbacks. He questions the logic of implementing such projects “in times of massive austerity.” The Vienna politician also views the planned “Queer in Vienna II” study critically, noting that it, too, would be funded by taxpayers.

Die Neuauflage der rot-pinken Wiener Stadtregierung hat ein eigenes Programm für „LGBTIQ+“-Personen. Unter anderem plant sie die Einrichtung eines „Zentrums für Transmedizin“.
