Trans rights activists in Pennsylvania protested the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center after the hospital moved to end gender-affirming care for minors. Critics say UPMC abandoned trans kids who could lose access to care after a decade of treatment, accusing the institution of caving to pressure from the Trump administration despite operating in a Democratic-led state. Advocates warn the decision leaves vulnerable young patients without medical support.
Why now: A major hospital dropping gender-affirming care for minors has sparked activist backlash in the ongoing US fight over trans rights.
