Missouri is moving to the next step, banning adults from receiving Trans care.
No libraries, no abortion, interfering in adult trans care, Missouri is really stepping their game up. Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama need to step it up to stay in the game!

Missouri's attorney general opened a new front in the GOP's attacks on transgender people: banning treatment for any adult with depression
The rule prohibits patients from seeking care unless they've met various requirements, including having mental health issues "treated and resolved."

- Missouri's attorney general announced new requirements for adults seeking gender affirming care.
- Adults with depression are banned from seeking care until their mental health issues are resolved.
- Other requirements include three consecutive years of gender dysphoria and months of therapy.
An emergency regulation announced by Missouri's attorney general on Thursday could severely limit access to gender-affirming care in the state, setting several new requirements for trans adults seeking treatment.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey's sweeping regulation would prohibit medical providers from providing gender-affirming care unless a number of requirements are met. While some of the regulation's requirements are specified by age group, its most expansive provisions, including a potential three-year delay in care, would be in place regardless of the patient's age.
Bailey's proposal would go into effect on April 27 and last until February 6, 2024.
The ACLU of Missouri and Lambda Legal responded with a joint statement promising legal action against the attorney general and emergency regulation. "We will defend the rights of transgender people through any necessary legal action, just as we have done in other states engaging in this anti-science and discriminatory fearmongering."
