The site explained that it is most dangerous for folks who have had gender-affirming surgery to stop hormones. For this group, stopping medication can lead to heart complications, metabolic dysfunction, severe bone density loss, cognitive decline, and mood instability.
“For post-operative trans people who have undergone gender-affirming surgery and no longer have their original gonads, withdrawing hormones is not an option, it’s a medical crisis,” GenderGP wrote, adding that banning these hormones “isn’t a political statement, it’s medical malpractice.”
The sponsor of the bill to ban gender-affirming care, state Rep. Dirk Deaton ®, said in March that he decided to add the anti-trans provision to the bill because there have been a lot of new appointments to the court and “a lot of change… in the national conversation around this issue.”
Missouri is a shithole state. Though, technically speaking, this might arise to the level of cruel and unusual for the already-transitioned inmates for the same reason that denying medical care to regular people is cruel and unusual. Wonder how long until we just declare transgender people as illegal to force them to die. Its probably what all the bathroom bills and ID stuff is all about.
As a transfemme Missourian, this is ever so reassuring.
Reassuring in the sense that if I chose to commit a crime, I know for certain I would fully commit to the enterprise of doing harm to my enemy, since imprisonment would be a death sentence anyway.
Stay safe
Probably the best way to do that is to GTFO, but that’s a huge undertaking that comes with many sacrifices.

How much you want to bet they’re about to criminalize trans? Something about forging government documents or identity fraud?
Hitler would be so proud.
Remember what happened to him and all the people who helped him?
He died and most of them ended up in positions of power in post war germany?
That seems unconstitutional.
SCOTUS: hold my beer while I psychically determine what the slave owning founding fathers intended
I know, let’s make up a whole new interpretation of the law based on what we think someone from hundreds of years ago thought. Let’s call it something bonkers like originalism.
Then, because the theory has no legal foundation, let’s threaten schools of law that they have to teach it or else.
Something something dumbest timeline ever.
It’s been ruled a violation of the 8th amendment
Missouri is the state.
Fucking nazi atrocity. We need our own Nuremburg trials for this shit.
A huge issue with this, besides being cruel, is that about 60-70% of the non-federal jail population are just awaiting trial and may actually be innocent. This gives cops more incentive to just arrest those that they don’t like if they can’t afford to post bail.
This needs to go to a higher court immediately. I just hope they do the right thing…
And so it begins.
Welcome to the trans genocide phase of the Trump presidency.
Hope lowering the price of eggs was worth it/s
Hope giving the finger to the Dems was worth it.
Well, in a supply and demand method of pricing, there are two ways to decrease prices. One is to lower demand. Nothing decreases demand like killing off some of the populace.
People who co-sponsored these laws should go to prison, where they’re forced to give up their religion.
God damn it. It’s my state. I hate it here.
Wish it was a blue state like its big brother, Illinois.
They lie and cheat to keep us down. Just look at gerrymandering. We made a rule against it and they tricked voters into overturning it before it went into effect.
I don’t know if I’m in district 5 or 6 anymore. I checked on the states website and they didn’t know either. It’s a nightmare.

As if the prison system in the US wasn’t already unnecessarilly cruel.
Wow, 1st you can beat your pregnant wife with no consequences and now this…what a “lovely” place…
“For post-operative trans people who have undergone gender-affirming surgery and no longer have their original gonads, withdrawing hormones is not an option, it’s a medical crisis,”
Can someone please explain to me what happens to the body in this case?
“The site explained that it is most dangerous for folks who have had gender-affirming surgery to stop hormones. For this group, stopping medication can lead to heart complications, metabolic dysfunction, severe bone density loss, cognitive decline, and mood instability.”

All thanks to laws being made by people with zero knowledge of medical science
It’s not about science or saving money or protecting inmates or women.
It never ever was.
It’s about hurting people they don’t like. To them, the government is either a red carpet or a cudgel.
B-but imaginary sky daddy! Protect the kids!
This is why we need lobbyists. Donate to HRC and similar nonprofits
From what I understand, biological systems regulated by sex hormones require one or the other to work at all. For example, you get one pattern of post-puberty bone growth with estrogen, a different pattern with testosterone, and no bone growth at all if you have neither. These systems also have some counterbalancing factor, like your bones constantly being slowly dissolved to keep calcium in your bloodstream, so if you have no gonads and no supplementary hormones, you essentially speedrun osteoporosis over the course of a few years.
I’m not too clear on other effects, but a lot of things are downstream of “your bones slowly melt,” and lots of other parts of your body rely on sex hormones to regulate them and will have long-term issues without them.
So did this happen to eunuchs in olden times too?
Basically. But, the life span used to be shorter. Also, eunuchs didn’t subject themselves to much that could cause them harm: they were mostly present as servants to rich/royal harems/wives of polygamy, or they were apart of the priesthood. But, their life expectancy was low, even for the time.
I vaguely remember that some hormones are relevant for bone integrity. I imagine losing that would be all around awful.
It’s time for socialism and exiling all conservatives
Abolish prisons immediately.

Probably? It’s obviously what all the bathroom bills and ID stuff is all about.
