Missouri’s Republican governor has put his signature on a new law that prevents state prison inmates from receiving sex-change operations paid for by taxpayers.
Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group, voiced strong support for the new legislation. The organization stated, “Growing medical evidence demonstrates that these procedures are neither safe nor effective in treating gender dysphoria. And no amount of drugs or surgeries can change a person’s sex.”
The new law marks Missouri’s latest policy action on transgender-related issues within its state correctional system.
