The emergency rule, chock-full of disinformation about trans health care, will essentially make obtaining gender-affirming care impossible.
“The Attorney General’s so-called emergency rule is based on distorted, misleading, and debunked claims and ignores the overwhelming body of scientific and medical evidence supporting this care as well as the medical experts and doctors who work with transgender people every day,” the organizations said in a joint statement. “This rule is a shocking attempt to exploit Missouri’s consumer protection laws in order to play politics with life-saving medical care.
Trans advocates have said that the move represents an escalation in the right’s all-out war on trans people. In attempting to justify the restrictions, “Bailey’s rule cites debunked studies on social contagion, fearmongers about autism without attempting to justify the concern, and makes it effectively impossible for adults to transition,”Ari Drennen, LGBTQ program director for Media Matters for America. “Everyone should worry about this nakedly unconstitutional escalation.”
Trans activist and journalist Erin Reed pointed out that prominent anti-trans figures were already criticizing the rule for not going far enough. “In response to Missouri AG’s move to ban gender affirming care for trans adults, Matt Walsh states, ‘You shouldn’t be allowed to change your gender at all,’” Reed wrote. “They have moved into the next step on transgender elimination. This is a new phase in their war against trans people.”.
