Missouri Attorney<\/a> General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit against a healthcare company last week after it provided puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors without a mental health assessment, as required by state law before sex reassignments were banned.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 28, Missouri\u2019s Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act was implemented as law in the state.<\/p>\n

After the law was passed, Bailey\u2019s office sent a letter to providers across Missouri, warning them to stop providing experimental treatment on treatment immediately.<\/p>\n

The recipients of the letter included Washington University in St. Louis; Children\u2019s Mercy in Kansas City; Planned Parenthood in Great Plains and St. Louis; AIDS Project of the Ozarks in Springfield, and Southampton Healthcare<\/a> in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

The letter touched on SAFE Act\u2019s ban on puberty blockers or other treatments to any new patients, and punishments such as doctors or professionals losing their license to practice revoked.<\/p>\n

Nearly three weeks after the letter went out, the DA\u2019s office filed a lawsuit against Southampton Healthcare after the company allegedly provided gender transition interventions to minors without providing comprehensive mental health assessments, as required by state law before SAFE became effective.<\/p>\n

“As long as I\u2019m Attorney General, I will fight to ensure that Missouri is the safest state in the nation for children,” said Attorney General Bailey. “These providers failed Missouri\u2019s children when they rejected even a diluted medical standard and subjected them to irreversible procedures. My office is not standing for it.”<\/p>\n

Bailey notes in the lawsuit<\/a> that Southampton\u2019s own witnesses “acknowledged in open court that providing these [gender transition] interventions without a comprehensive mental health assessment is contrary to the medical standard of care.”<\/p>\n

The Attorney General said the company\u2019s witnesses, who supported gender transition interventions, agreed nobody receiving the interventions would receive one if they have not undergone “a comprehensive psychological evaluation.”<\/p>\n

Despite that, the lawsuit claims, Southampton did not provide the evaluations.<\/p>\n

Instead, the lawsuit continued, Southampton did not adopt and consistently apply a policy ensuring each patient received an assessment before undergoing an intervention related to sex reassignments.<\/p>\n

Southampton Healthcare could not immediately be reached for comment regarding the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

“Providing gender transition interventions without first ensuring that each minor patient in Missouri receives a comprehensive mental health assessment is \u2018unethical, oppressive, [and] unscrupulous\u2019 under Missouri regulations enacted pursuant to Missouri law,” Bailey asserts. “Providing gender transition interventions without first ensuring that each minor patient in Missouri receives a comprehensive mental health assessment \u2018[p]resents a risk of, or causes, substantial injury to consumers\u2019 under Missouri regulations enacted pursuant to Missouri law.”<\/p>\n

Bailey\u2019s office said the Attorney General is seeking full restitution for any victims who underwent gender transition procedures without a mental health assessment, a penalty of $1,000 for each violation and an injunction to stop future violations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
