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.
