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.”

    I’m left on most issues, but “gender affirming care” on a child is pretty fucking outrageous.

    Children can not consent. Full stop.

    The adults who are affected by this law are inmates in correctional institutions and Medicaid recipients.

    No prison provides elective surgery for inmates, and Medicaid also doesn’t pay for elective surgeries.

    I’m completely fine with this common sense law.

      Do you know you’re a horrible person for what you believe or do you honestly think misinformed strawman takes like the one you presented are legitimate.

      Children can absolutely consent to their understanding of their own bodies and should always be believed.

      Inmates have rights too.

      Your bigotry and hate are obvious and we think less of you because of these.
