EXCLUSIVE — Missouri AGAndrewBailey says his recent move to regulate clinics offering gender transition procedures and drugs to minors is about safeguarding children. Bailey said the rule would prevent 'social experimentation masquerading as medicine.'
, Bailey, a Republican, said the new emergency regulations he issued Monday clarifying that state law prohibits gender transition procedures for children without"specific guardrails" are about"protecting the children.""An emergency rule is absolutely necessary in this period in order to protect kids from what we view as dangerous experimental procedures and social experimentation masquerading as medicine," Bailey said.
"What we've done is we've promulgated an emergency rule that first and foremost requires providers to adhere to certain standards," Bailey said."They need to be doing psych assessments, they need to retain informed consent documentation, they need to track the adverse effects of the treatments like they would with any other kind of treatment, but secondly, it's going to require genuine real parental informed consent.
The regulation is the latest effort from Bailey to halt gender transition procedures in the state. Last month, in response to a whistleblower affidavit, he launched an investigation into the Pediatric Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for prescribing puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones for children without parental consent.
A number of Republican-controlled states have advanced legislation in recent months that would ban children from receiving gender transition drugs such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as well as gender transition surgeries. Bailey said he would like to see similar legislation enacted in Missouri.
