The law, which went into effect Sunday, bans puberty blockers and hormone treatment for transgender children under 19.

Dr. Hussein Abdul-Latif spent the last week typing out prescription refills for his young transgender patients, trying to make sure they had access to their medications for a few months before Alabama made it illegal for him to prescribe them.

But gradually, he said, trans kids became more visible and there was a greater openness in the state for them to come out. Now that the law is in effect, families are wondering if they will have to move out of state and doctors are worried about what will become of their patients. Ladinsky quickly agreed to co-found the gender clinic in Birmingham when Abdul-Latif approached her about it. She had moved to the city from a hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, that had a pediatric gender health team, and was familiar with the treatments.
