BREAKING: The Missouri ACLU is suing to block new state restrictions on adults and children seeking gender-affirming health care, which are set to kick in Thursday.
Some individuals will be allowed to maintain their prescriptions while they promptly receive the required assessments.
Bailey marketed the restrictions as a way to protect minors from what he describes as experimental treatments when he. He applied limits to adults as well in the final rule. The lawsuit alleges the rule “is an improper, extra-legislative overreach by an un-elected political appointee” seeking to use the state’s consumer-protection law, which plaintiffs describe as “an act purposed on making sure that cars are sold with titles and that hardware stores abide by a warranty on a vacuum.”
Health care providers will need to ensure “any psychiatric symptoms from existing mental health comorbidities of the patient have been treated and resolved” before providing gender-affirming treatments under the new rule. Physicians also must screen patients for social media addiction, autism and signs of “social contagion with respect to the patient’s gender identity.”
