House Republicans approved a prohibition on gender-affirming health care for transgender minors, but without a grandfather clause or sunset provision that were key to the bill clearing the Senate. One Democratic lawmaker said she has a transgender grandson who may not be able to live in Missouri if the bill becomes law.
Differences between the House and Senate on how strict a ban on certain transgender health care should be could spell trouble for the proposals chances as the Missouri legislative session nears completion.
Leaders in both chambers told reporters Thursday they are pushing for their respective body’s legislation.

Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Kli …

LTC David Brown - So you would deny care to about 105,000 people in Missouri? Because conservative Christians want to impose their beliefs on others? What are you going to do when a religious group that believes that they should be allowed to be treated files a lawsuit under the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act? What's the compelling government government interest, and is there a less restrictive means of achieving that interest?

Capt Gregory Prickett - They aren’t being denied treatment. They can ask for exemption from the law. Sweden, hardly a bastion of conservative Christian thinking, stopped most childhood transition treatments. They found various mental conditions lead to gender dysphoria and the children involved aren’t trans at all. A state defending its self can use there research. The compelling government interest is to protect children from harm.
