In the 2 weeks since Lurie Children’s Hospital paused surgeries for transgender youth, @kschorsch.bsky.social has spoken with 10 patients or their parents about what it means for their lives for @wbez.org.
They described disappointment, loss of hope and anger.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital near downtown Chicago for surgery, only to have those appointments canceled. A Northwestern spokesman did not respond to questions.
