The day after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sought to limit access to gender-affirming health care for transgender people of all ages this spring, Hal Dempsey launched a GoFundMe fundraiser for themself and their two partners to leave Springfield, Missouri. While Bailey withdrew his measure after the state legislature passed a more limited crackdown on care for minors, the three transgender partners moved at the end of May to Illinois, which requires state-regulated insurance plans to cover such care at no extra cost.
