Protest outside Children’s Hospital Colorado after sudden suspension of gender-affirming care

The changes were prompted by an executive order signed by President Trump aimed at halting gender-affirming medical treatments for children and teens under the age of 19.

About two dozen people gathered for what they called an “emergency rally” at Children’s Hospital Colorado on Thursday. On a cold day under the midday sun, they protested the hospital’s changes to policies for gender-affirming care, which came after pressure from the new federal administration.

A federal judge later in the day blocked executive orders signed by President Donald Trump regarding transgender people and their health care.
