He stated, &#8220;After a law that my\u2063 office successfully defended in court went into effect \u200btwo weeks ago, Washington \u2064University has ceased all\u2063 prescription of puberty\u2062 blockers\u200d and cross-sex hormones to\u200b children. I&#8217;m proud to have \u200bled the effort to \u200dexpose the lack of \u200bscience supporting these procedures\u2064 and I&#8217;ll never \u2064back \u2063down in the fight to protect children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In February, Bailey\u200b initiated\u2062 an investigation into the gender clinic\u2064 following a \u2062whistleblower&#8217;s affidavit. The whistleblower, Jamie\u2064 Reed, revealed in an \u2064op-ed for the Free Press that the clinic would often prescribe hormone drugs\u2064 to children without proper mental health screening \u200cand\u2063 even \u200dpush transgender procedures without parental consent.<\/p>\n<h3>Missouri&#8217;s New Law and the Clinic&#8217;s Decision<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2063 clinic&#8217;s \u2063decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/embattled-missouri-transgender-clinic-stops-child-interventions-following-new-ban\/\" title=\"Missouri transgender clinic halts child interventions due to new ban.\">discontinue childhood gender transition treatment<\/a> is \u200cprimarily\u200c influenced by Missouri&#8217;s new\u2063 law, which \u2062allows doctors\u200c to be \u200bsued for medical malpractice if they guide \u2063a \u2064child towards sex reassignment. The minimum liability under this law is \u200b$500,000.<\/p>\n<p>The university \u2064stated, &#8220;Missouri&#8217;s newly\u2064 enacted law regarding transgender care has created\u200d a new\u200c legal claim for patients who received\u200c these medications as minors. \u200dThis \u2064legal \u200bclaim creates unsustainable liability for healthcare professionals and makes it untenable \u2064for us to\u200c continue \u2062to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-transgender-clinic-will-no-longer-prescribe-hormone-drugs-to-minors-amid-risk-of-fines\/\" title=\"Missouri Transgender Clinic Stops Hormone Drugs for Minors to Avoid Fines\">provide comprehensive transgender care<\/a> for minor patients without subjecting the\u2063 university\u200d and our providers to an unacceptable level of liability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The clinic\u2064 will now \u2064refer current \u2064child patients to\u2063 other providers\u200b but\u2062 maintains that their\u2062 medical staff has \u200calways followed the standard of care \u200band obtained informed\u200b consent from\u2063 patients and their\u200c parents or guardians.<\/p>\n<h3>Questioning the Medical Pathway<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the clinic&#8217;s stance, Western medicine outside the United States has\u2063 long\u200b questioned the scientific validity and potential dangers of such interventions \u2063for children who may\u2062 not fully comprehend the implications.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General\u200d Bailey sees this victory as a\u200d &#8220;warning shot&#8221; \u200dto the American medical establishment, which heavily promotes gender interventions for children. It stands \u2063as\u2063 one of the\u2064 few \u2064successful challenges to this \u2063prevailing trend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click\u200c here<\/a> \u2064 to read more \u2063from the Washington \u200bExaminer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The St. Louis transgender clinic, under investigation for harming 600 children with gender transition drugs, has ceased treatment for minors.
