Fox News
The ACLU and LGBTQ groups are suing Missouri to block a rule that would require patients to go to therapy before receiving gender transition services.
The groups filed the lawsuit on behalf of three transgender individuals and Southampton Community Healthcare, a clinic that provides gender transition services.

"[This] emergency order is a baseless and discriminatory attempt to limit the health care options for transgender individuals, who already face several barriers accessing necessary and life-saving medical care," Samuel Tochtrop, a doctor at Southampton Healthcare, told The Kansas City Star.
