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.”
writing in an order that “petitioners have not clearly shown a sufficient threat of irreparable injury absent injunctive relief.”
Basically every piece of research we have done on the topic over the last several decades has pointed in the same direction: That timely gender-affirming care improves, and often saves, trans people’s lives, both adults and children.
And it’s worth pointing out that a blanket ban is not based on clinical merit. A blanket ban doesn’t allow the specifics of a patient’s case to be considered. It is a statement that gender-affirming care is never appropriate. It is purely ideological, and it will lead to the suffering and death of trans people.
These people have blood on their hands. I hope, one day, that they are held responsible for their actions.
This judge had to literally be sticking his head in the ground yelling “I’m not listening” to not see a) the literal mountain and decades of research that completely contradict his statement and b) his multitude of colleagues that have blocked these bans already based on this actual evidence.
Conservatism is hate. It is oppression. It is misogyny, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, antisemitism and transphobia. Conservatism is inappropriate in all its forms.
Do your part in your daily life to combat conservatism. Teach your children why we don’t do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Marginalize hate by marginalizing the hate group.
I think you got all of the buzzwords. Good job Moishe, $0.20 will be added to your Shabbos account.

Casual antisemitism will surely help your argument!
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.
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.
