Missouri's Attempt to Limit Trans Health Care Faces Legal Setback.
A Missouri judge has temporarily halted the enforcement of a rule that restricts access to gender-affirming health care for transgender kids and adults, just hours before it was set to take effect. The rule enstated by Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey places requirements on both minors and adults before they would be allowed to receive gender-affirming treatments, such as puberty blockers or hormones. Transgender Missourians and health care providers sued to stop it from being enforced, claiming that Bailey sidestepped the GOP-led Legislature and acted beyond his authority in attempting to regulate gender-affirming health care under the state’s consumer-protection laws.
