A Missouri transgender clinic that previously vowed to continue prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to minors despite an investigation by the state attorney general’s office has now said it will cease providing the gender-transitioning drugs.
In a statement on Sept. 11, the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital said physicians will “no longer prescribe puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to minors for purposes of gender transition” owing to the state’s newly enacted law regarding transgender care.
