Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued new regulations severely limiting gender-affirming care for both adults and youth.
The measure is one of several ways gender-affirming care for adults is being targeted without a total ban.The order institutes a three-year waiting period for medical intervention and requires psychological or psychiatric assessment.
The assessments must consist of at least 15 sessions over 18 months, at least 10 of which must be with the same therapist, to "explore the developmental influences on the patient’s current gender identity and to determine, among other things, whether the person has any mental health comorbidities."There are no such waiting periods for other types of care.
It does not specify whether this means that people with autism would be banned from treatment. Representatives for the attorney general did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment to clarify this.
