Missouri’s Anti-Trans “Emergency Rule”
Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that temporary rules limiting gender-affirming care for transgender people will go into effect on April 27. The emergency regulations would prohibit healthcare workers from offering gender-affirming care unless transgender patients overcome a new set of rigorous barriers, including ensuring the transgender patient has exhibited medically documented gender dysphoria for the past three years, received at least 15 separate hours of therapy, and “resolved” any existing mental health issues.
