TRANS YOUTH need your help!

UPMC chose to end gender-affirming care for all trans people under 19 years old starting June 30, 2025. All trans clients under 19 are being forcibly tapered off hormone therapy and puberty blockers over the following 3-6 months. This is incredibly dangerous to the mental and physical health and safety of our teens and young adults, putting their literal lives at risk. Please consider donating to our health fund and signing the petition to demand UPMC reinstate healthcare.

OUR WORK MATTERS

TransYOUniting is a mutual aid non-profit providing resources to Pittsburgh's Transgender, LGBTQIA+, and HIV+ Community.

Dedicated services, led by our community, are crucial because:

19% of trans people are or have been homeless.
We are twice as likely to be unemployed and 90% of us experience harassment at work.
19% of trans people have been refused medical care because of who we are.
41% of black trans people have been held in a jail cell because of their gender and race.
49% of us have attempted suicide. 80% of us struggle with suicidal ideation.
22% of black trans people have been physically assaulted trying to access public accommodations
