Missouri Attorney General's plan to restrict gender-affirming care for minors draws criticism   

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:17 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Reaction to a plan by Missouri Attorney Andrew Bailey to restrict gender-affirming care is drawing sharp criticisms from advocates for transgender youth. “These kids are fabulous kids, and there is nothing that I would like better than for them to just be themselves,” said Susan Halla, executive director of TransParent, a national organization that provides support for the families of transgender and gender-nonconforming youth. Bailey’s office shared details of his plan on Monday. Planned Parenthood was among the organizations calling Bailey’s claims false and harmful and insisting gender-affirming care is safe, effective, and life-saving. The ACLU of Missouri believes Bailey is outside his authority to implement the restrictions and has called them reckless and dangerous.  Top story: Search for missing St. Charles woman leads to abandoned car The news comes following an allegation from a former employee at the Washington University Transgender Cen...

ST. LOUIS – As winter turns to spring, it’s prime time to get the grime off your vehicle. Brian Byrd says he was surprised to find he was still paying for his last trip to the Zips Car Wash on South Kingshighway, months after he last pulled off the lot.“I happened to notice there was a $20 debit from Zips and I thought, I hadn’t been to Zips in months,” he said. “So, I went back and looked at some of the other previous statements, and sure enough, they’d been hitting me for about six months.”Bryd tells us the charges totaled $120.
