1. The University of Pennsylvania

In a May 29 Instagram post, the Daily Pennsylvanian, the student newspaper for the University of Pennsylvania, announced that the Philadelphia-based institution's college of medicine would no longer perform body deforming sex-change procedures on minors exhibiting gender dysphoria. 

In a statement to the Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn Medicine Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President Dr. Patrick Brennan acknowledged that he viewed the policy change as a “difficult decision that we know impacts patients and families who place their trust in our care teams.” 

Brennan added, “We remain deeply committed to ensuring a respectful and welcoming environment for all members of the communities we serve and providing comprehensive medical and behavioral health care and psychosocial support for LGBTQ+ individuals while complying with federal government requirements.”
