A Missouri judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking a rule that would have required adults and children to undergo more than a year of therapy before receiving gender-affirming treatments. The rule was challenged by the ACLU and the Transgender Law Center on behalf of two transgender Missourians and the St. Louis Effort for AIDS, who argued that it violated the Missouri Constitution. The case will now move forward in the courts, with a final ruling expected in the coming weeks.
