Federal Judge Slams DOJ’s Attempt to Seize Trans Youth Medical Records from UPMC A federal judge in Pittsburgh just handed the U.S. Department of Justice a very public, very pointed rejection, and the language she used? Not subtle. Chief U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon ruled Monday that the DOJ cannot force UPMC to hand over records, even anonymized ones, for minor patients who received gender-affirming care at UPMC. And in her four-page order, she didn’t mince words.

A federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked the DOJ from forcing UPMC to hand over records of trans youth who received gender-affirming care. The ruling called the government’s stance “callous” and warned of overreach.

Understanding
Gender-Affirming Care
Early Awareness
Children recognize gender as young as 18-24 months.
Most kids label their own gender by age three, with understanding growing over time.
Timing is Individual
Some trans people know who they are young, while others realize it in their teens or adulthood. Coming out timing varies widely.
Support Matters
Fear, rejection, and stigma make coming out harder.
Family love and support make a huge difference to trans people's health and wellbeing.

Temporary & Reversible
Puberty blockers are a medicine that can temporarily pause puberty and are FulLY REvERSIBLE.
Proven & Safe
Approved by the FDA to treat precocious puberty in 1993, they have FEW SIDE EFFECTS and are effective.
Used By Everyone
Thirty years later, they remain the preferred treatment for gender affirming care and used by everyone to treat hormone imbalances, hormone-sensitive cancers, infertility, gynecological disorders and are FAR FROM DANGEROUS or experimental.
