A Kansas City Council committee approved such a resolution Wednesday. The full council will now consider it Thursday. The council members acted as the Republican-controlled Missouri Legislature gave final approval to afor transgender minors, sending it to GOP Gov. Mike Parson, who is expected to sign it into law. At least 16 other states have enacted laws restricting or banning such care for minors.
It also says that if the state passes a law or resolution that imposes criminal or civil punishments, fines, or professional sanctions in such cases, personnel in Missouri’s largest city will make enforcing those requirements “their lowest priority.” But she backed the resolution after saying, “I do believe in good trouble, and this might just be one of those lines of good trouble.”Oklahoma joins at least 15 other states with laws banning such care, as conservatives across the country have targeted transgender rights.
