Missouri faces backlash over restrictions on transgender health care.
TL;DR Summary
The Missouri ACLU has filed a lawsuit to block new state restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare for both adults and children, set to take effect on Thursday. The rule requires people to have experienced 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 gender-affirming medical treatments. The ACLU argues that the state attorney general has no authority to regulate gender-affirming care through emergency rule-making.
