Missouri lawmakers debate making permanent bans on gender-affirming care for minors and transgender athlete participation in women’s sports.
Missouri lawmakers are debating bills to make permanent statewide bans on gender-affirming care for minors and on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, with testimony highlighting severe impacts on families, including forced relocations and mental health struggles.
The 2023 law, set to expire in August 2027, was upheld by the Missouri Supreme Court, and opponents argue eliminating the sunset clause would deepen harm, cutting off essential treatments even for those previously covered.
Supporters claim the measures protect children and ensure fairness in sports.
The outcome will determine whether these restrictions become permanent.
