Missouri Attorney General's restrictions on gender-affirming care will halt access for adults too...

Republicans have claimed that restrictions on services like hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries are needed to protect children. But health providers say the attorney general's emergency rules are so onerous that the result will be everyone losing access.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said Thursday that his emergency rules restricting transgender-related health care will affect adults.

There had been questions about whom the rules cover, but in an interview with St. Louis Public Radio, Bailey said they affect children and adults. Some providers of treatment like hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery contend the regulations are so onerous that they'll result in gender-affirming care being shut off for everyone.
