About this episode
It's Trans Day of Visibility! We're sharing some events and ways to mark the day in Pittsburgh, plus looking at where trans youth are going for gender-affirming care now that UPMC ended these services for patients under 19. We're also discussing the latest population numbers, a new platform to rate local landlords, the newest PA "bird town," and a new outdoor music festival.
Thanks to Hanna Webster, health reporter for the Post-Gazette, for discussing her reporting on gender-affirming care.
