Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office acknowledged on Thursday evening that its new regulation severely limiting gender-affirming medical care due to its almost insurmountable requirements applies to people of all ages.

The acknowledgement comes despite the fact that Bailey announced the move as one addressing concerns about children’s care and has only discussed it as such since.

“We have serious concerns about how children are being treated throughout the state, but we believe everyone is entitled to evidence-based medicine and adequate mental health care,” Bailey spokesperson Madeline Sieren told Law Dork.

An attorney with Lambda Legal, which has already promised legal action against the move, pushed back against Sieren’s statement.

“This so-called emergency rule is a shocking expansion of efforts to restrict gender-affirming care into the realm of adult care, and its reliance on false or misleading claims makes a mockery of the phrase “evidence-based medicine’ — it is anything but,” Lambda Legal Staff Attorney Nora Huppert told Law Dork.
