The site explained that it is most dangerous for folks who have had gender-affirming surgery to stop hormones. For this group, stopping medication can lead to heart complications, metabolic dysfunction, severe bone density loss, cognitive decline, and mood instability.

“For post-operative trans people who have undergone gender-affirming surgery and no longer have their original gonads, withdrawing hormones is not an option, it’s a medical crisis,” GenderGP wrote, adding that banning these hormones “isn’t a political statement, it’s medical malpractice.”

The sponsor of the bill to ban gender-affirming care, state Rep. Dirk Deaton ®, said in March that he decided to add the anti-trans provision to the bill because there have been a lot of new appointments to the court and “a lot of change… in the national conversation around this issue.”

Missouri is a shithole state. Though, technically speaking, this might arise to the level of cruel and unusual for the already-transitioned inmates for the same reason that denying medical care to regular people is cruel and unusual. Wonder how long until we just declare transgender people as illegal to force them to die. Its probably what all the bathroom bills and ID stuff is all about.

        They lie and cheat to keep us down. Just look at gerrymandering. We made a rule against it and they tricked voters into overturning it before it went into effect.

        I don’t know if I’m in district 5 or 6 anymore. I checked on the states website and they didn’t know either. It’s a nightmare.

    As a transfemme Missourian, this is ever so reassuring.

    Reassuring in the sense that if I chose to commit a crime, I know for certain I would fully commit to the enterprise of doing harm to my enemy, since imprisonment would be a death sentence anyway.

      How much you want to bet they’re about to criminalize trans? Something about forging government documents or identity fraud?

    People who co-sponsored these laws should go to prison, where they’re forced to give up their religion.

    A huge issue with this, besides being cruel, is that about 60-70% of the non-federal jail population are just awaiting trial and may actually be innocent. This gives cops more incentive to just arrest those that they don’t like if they can’t afford to post bail.

    This needs to go to a higher court immediately. I just hope they do the right thing…

        I know what they did and what they stand for isnt funny at all, but I just zoomed in on these bargain Nazis and just can’t help but laugh. Picturing them all waddling into home depot or Lowes to the garden section in their little khakis / white shirt uniform to get tiki torches… Marching to the scent of citronella just mad because something something jews and brown people???

          I could believe that little tetrahedron symbol on his polo is some cryptofascist bullshit symbol that he had embroidered on at a mall kiosk because he’s too chickenshit to actually own his bigotry and wear a Hakenkreuz…

          …but I could also believe that there’s some athleisure company out there with that logo where when that photo went viral saw it suddenly appear everywhere and just went Fffffuuuuuucckk mmmmeeeeeee…"

      And if you bring it to the supreme court, they’ll just say “some people are born to suffer and die”.

      This has been happening for years in red states, you just weren’t paying attention. Access to HRT in prison in a red state has always been a shitshow at best, and it’s been decades of back and forth lawsuits and new laws trying to get around the last lawsuit.

        You just said what OP did with more words. As you pointed out, red states are the ones implementing the policies. Perhaps Democrats wouldn’t be passing legislation to make it better, but they wouldn’t be passing this trash.

          Since there was no reasonable chance of Missouri going blue during the last election, I interpreted the comment as being about national level rather than state level politics.
