A Missouri law banning gender-affirming health care for transgender minors and some adults will take effect Monday after a circuit court judge on Friday declined to block it.
St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Steven Ohmer on Friday rejected a request to temporarily block the enforcement of Missouri’s gender-affirming care ban, writing in an order that “petitioners have not clearly shown a sufficient threat of irreparable injury absent injunctive relief.”
This is ridiculous. It’s like saying we aren’t to stop conversion therapy because there’s not enough proof that it’s harmful. Of course it is. Of course it’s harmful to deny trans people care. What a crock of shit.
