Transgender and nonbinary Missourians are reporting that medical providers in the state have been refusing to provide gender-affirming care due to new rules imposed by state Attorney General Andrew Bailey, fearing legal repercussions if they do so.
Though Bailey’s new rules allow existing patients to continue receiving care, the rules have instilled fear in Missouri doctors, who worry that they could face legal scrutiny or repercussions from the state if they continue providing gender-affirming treatment., a transgender woman living in St. Louis.
. The rules require patients to document three years of gender dysphoria, even though some trans people don’t experience dysphoria at all. Patients must also undergo at least 18 months of therapy before they can be treated, and must be screened for autism or social media addiction to determine if their identity has been influenced by “social contagion” — falsely suggesting that trans people seeking gender-affirming treatment are only hopping on a fad, rather than seeking legitimate medical care.
This week, Bailey introduced a form on his website that allows state residents to report doctor’s offices they claim are engaging in questionable practices relating to gender-affirming care — even if they have no evidence whatsoever. Transgender activists and allies havein order to disrupt Bailey’s efforts to attack providers of gender-affirming care.
“You can just submit stuff. And YOU should. If you can, spare the time to fill one of these out and junk it up,” said one trans Twitter user, adding that such forms “should be rendered useless as quickly as possible.”As the world changes at an unprecedented pace, we need ethical, independent news more than ever before.
