Dozens of advocates, including drag queens in full makeup, rallied at Missouri's Capitol against bills banning transgender athletes from participating on girls sports teams.
The Missouri State High School Activities Association requires transgender athletes to apply and submit documentation of medical care in order to compete as the gender they identify with.
Republican Rep. Brian Seitz, of Branson, said he has not read the association's rules on transgender athletes and has “no idea what intersex is.” Ashcroft's comments, which strayed from his typical testimony on elections issues, prompted Democrats to question if he's running for Missouri governor in 2024, when Republican Gov. Mike Parson will be term-limited from campaigning for re-election.
Other bills would ban Missouri doctors from providing any gender-affirming treatments for minors and prevent insurance from covering those treatments for minors.
