ST. LOUIS — Planned Parenthood held a pop-up clinic at its Central West End location on Monday for people seeking gender-affirming care, 10 days before new rules that would make Missouri the first state to greatly restrict care for transgender adults go into effect.
Doors opened at 8 a.m. Two hours later, the more than two dozen time slots were filled for the day, and another dozen people made appointments for later this week.
“This is a last-ditch effort to not lose access to care I’ve been getting for a large part of my life,” said Emmett Campbell, 19, a sophomore at Washington University. He visited the pop-up clinic to get a prescription for testosterone.
