A Missouri judge on Monday temporarily blocked a unique rule that would require adults and children to undergo more than a year of therapy and fulfill other requirements before they could receive gender-affirming treatments such as puberty blockers, hormones and surgery.
St. Louis County Circuit Judge Ellen Ribaudo issued a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s emergency rule until May 15 unless she extends it. She scheduled a May 11 hearing on the lawsuit challenging the rule.
In her ruling, Ribaudo wrote that those suing to block the rule would “be subjected to immediate and irreparable loss, damage or injury if the Attorney General is permitted to enforce the Emergency Rule, and its broad, sweeping provisions were implemented without further fact-finding or evidence.”
She also wrote that patients are at “high risk” of having their medical care interrupted indefinitely and losing care through their current providers if the rule takes effect.
Bailey’s office vowed in a statement to continue defending the rule.
“We remain confident in our position because the Court even acknowledged that it deferred its consideration of the science until a later date,” his statement said, adding “six pages of endnotes” speak to the experimental nature of the care.

Genital mutilation for everybody!
Ditto that
And what, exactly, would that "loss, damage, or injury" be, Your Honor?
Has any court ever found, anywhere, that the project of changing a man into a woman or vice-versa is even POSSIBLE? Of course not.
And now, failing to do the impossible causes "irreparable loss, damage, or injury"?
How high up the chain is this witch? In other words will she be overruled?
Genital mutilation is not ‘care’. These people are evil.
“...gender-affirming treatments”
Whenever you see the term “gender affirming” in a news item, know that you’re being sh1t upon....
OK. Moved to the next state… Last I heard they cannot force you to stay there doing an end run around the judge.
My question. Why the rush? Why not let kids grow up and when they are 18 they can decide what they want to be and have any surgery they want. Why the rush to perform irreversible, life altering surgery on little kids?

Studies have shown that if you don't start smoking by the time you turn 18 odds are good you never will. Similarly, it's easier for Big Pharma to sell you a lifetime supply of artificial hormones if they can get you on the trans train before you're old enough to think for yourself.
Precisely.
THAT is the end goal.
