Missouri's attorney general opened a new front in the GOP's attacks on transgender people: banning treatment for any adult with depression

Missouri's attorney general announced new requirements for adults seeking gender affirming care.

Adults with depression are banned from seeking care until their mental health issues are resolved.

Other requirements include three consecutive years of gender dysphoria and months of therapy.

An emergency regulation announced by Missouri's attorney general on Thursday could severely limit access to gender-affirming care in the state, setting several new requirements for trans adults seeking treatment.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey's sweeping regulation would prohibit medical providers from providing gender-affirming care unless a number of requirements are met. While some of the regulation's requirements are specified by age group, its most expansive provisions, including a potential three-year delay in care, would be in place regardless of the patient's age.
