Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has taken action against a clinic that sought to block the state’s ban on gender-transition drugs for minors, accusing the provider of previously treating children without adequate psychological evaluations.
Before that, Southampton joined LGBTQ groups and parents seeking to stop Mr. Bailey’s emergency order blocking gender-transition procedures for minors, calling it “baseless and discriminatory.” A state judge granted in May their request for a temporary injunction.
Mr. Bailey said he is seeking “full restitution for victims who underwent gender transition procedures without a mental health assessment, a civil penalty of $1,000 for each violation, and an injunction to halt future such violations.” Missouri landed at the center of an uproar over “gender-affirming care” in February when a former caseworker at the Washington University at St. Louis gender clinic said adolescents were routinely prescribed drugs without adequate mental health screenings.found that the whistleblower’s allegations were “unsubstantiated,” but said it would tighten its policies, including obtaining written parental consent before giving “gender affirming medication” to minors.
