A judge has agreed to step aside in a lawsuit challenging a new Missouri law restricting gender-affirming health care for minors, despite what he called "gamesmanship" from the plaintiffs' lawyers who sought a new judge.
Some medical providers are dropping continuing gender-affirming care for minors, even though it remains legal. In Missouri and North Dakota, health systems and advocates blame provisions in the laws that would make it easier to sue doctors and their employers for injuries related to the treatment, even many years later. At least 22 states have enacted bans or restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors in the past few years. Some of them allow puberty blockers and hormone therapy to continue for children who have already started it. Parents of transgender children say the restrictions deny important health care that improves their kids’ lives.
