Some in the speech pathology community said BYU dropping transgender clients from speech therapy was an “ethical injustice.” An investigation into the move is now over and BYU is keeping its accreditation.
that accredited universities agree to abide by states: “Individuals shall not discriminate in the delivery of professional services or in the conduct of research and scholarly activities on the basis of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity/gender expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, disability, culture, language, or dialects.”
The school has also told the CAA that it is not barring transgender clients from others services, such as resolving a speech impediment, for instance — only that it is no longer providing gender-affirming therapies. BYU’s note to faculty said speech therapy to help an individual align their voice to a sex not assigned at birth would be considered by the school to be a part of transitioning. And it will not assist in that process.
In a similar way, voice therapy is used to relive gender dysphoria, when a person feels their gender identity doesn’t match their outward appearance or other characteristics. That is why many students in the program did not feel it went against church guidance.
