A Missouri judge has temporarily halted a first-of-its-kind rule restricting access to gender-affirming health care just hours before it was set to take effect
Transgender Health Missouri
Attorney Tony Rothert with the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri told Ribaudo at a court hearing Wednesday that the regulations"will cause immediate, severe and potentially irreparable harm” for people who could lose access to medications that include puberty blockers and sex hormones. The rule will require people to have experienced an “intense pattern” of documented gender dysphoria for three years and to have received at least 15 hourly sessions with a therapist over at least 18 months before receiving puberty blockers, hormones, surgery or other treatment. Patients also must first be screened for autism and “social media addiction,” and any psychiatric symptoms from mental health issues would have to be treated and resolved.
Bailey's efforts to crack down on gender-affirming health care come as Republican lawmakers across the country have proposed. At least 13 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors.
