Missouri Trans Fight To Worsens As Medical Treatment Crackdown Targets Adults

For AGNOSTIC denizens of the political discourse . . . Here's something to consider . . .

Missouri conservatives assured voters that their clap back against trans people was focused only on protecting youngsters. Critics of the trans community garnered support given a great deal of LEGIT concern about "gender-affirming" care or drag shows for youngsters. 

Remember this sensible quote from Missouri Gov Parson on the topic that resonated on both sides of the aisle . . .  

“Look. When you’re an adult, you’re an adult. You can make your decisions — what you want to do in life — and if you want to go down some of those roads, go down ‘em…that’s perfectly what America is about. But trying to do this to 10, 12, 13-year-old children’s gonna affect them for a lifetime – it’s something I don’t believe we should be doing.”

BUT NOW . . .

Missouri GOP leaders doubled down and target trans people with medical crackdowns regardless of age. 

To be clear . . . This isn't a crisis that impacts most Missourians BUT it serves as the perfect wedge issue in order to effectively garner votes . . . Which is kind of the point of the whole thing. 

Here's another overview . . .

"National groups advocating for LGBTQ+ rights contend the Missouri regulation — based on a state law against deceptive and unfair business practices — goes further than most restrictions enacted elsewhere.

"Three states have imposed restrictions on gender-affirming care via regulation or administrative order, but Missouri’s regulation is the only one that also limits treatments for adults."

"Let's be clear - gender-affirming care is based on decades of clinical experience and research and is not considered experimental," the organization said in a statement.
