If you're cis, I'd like you to read this article and learn that Missouri is about to enact a full ban on transition healthcare for transgender people. The deadline is April 27.

No cisgender person I've shared this with has had any idea that this is a ban, not a regulation - the requirements are impossible to meet.

I would also ask that you share this information with three other cis people today, preferably ones in or near #Missouri .

Thank you. (Update: The ban is temporarily restrained until July 24, with a new hearing about a preliminary injunction on July 20. The ban cannot be implemented until then. But the Missouri GOP is determined to ban youth trans care and sports participation, and keep allowing literal children to get married.) (Update late May: The Missouri legislature ended trans healthcare coverage for ALL minors, all people on Medicaid, and all incarcerated people. This is an absolute disaster - it means that all anyone needs to do to restrict trans healthcare for paying adults is to declare us criminals - but it is at least not a flagrant violation of the lawmaking process like Bailey's "emergency rule" was.)
