The site explained that it is most dangerous for folks who have had gender-affirming surgery to stop hormones. For this group, stopping medication can lead to heart complications, metabolic dysfunction, severe bone density loss, cognitive decline, and mood instability.
“For post-operative trans people who have undergone gender-affirming surgery and no longer have their original gonads, withdrawing hormones is not an option, it’s a medical crisis,” GenderGP wrote, adding that banning these hormones “isn’t a political statement, it’s medical malpractice.”
The sponsor of the bill to ban gender-affirming care, state Rep. Dirk Deaton (R), said in March that he decided to add the anti-trans provision to the bill because there have been a lot of new appointments to the court and “a lot of change… in the national conversation around this issue.”
Missouri is a shithole state. Though, technically speaking, this might arise to the level of cruel and unusual for the already-transitioned inmates for the same reason that denying medical care to regular people is cruel and unusual. Wonder how long until we just declare transgender people as illegal to force them to die. Its probably what all the bathroom bills and ID stuff is all about.

I know what they did and what they stand for isnt funny at all, but I just zoomed in on these bargain Nazis and just can't help but laugh. Picturing them all waddling into home depot or Lowes to the garden section in their little khakis / white shirt uniform to get tiki torches.. Marching to the scent of citronella just mad because something something jews and brown people???

I could believe that little tetrahedron symbol on his polo is some cryptofascist bullshit symbol that he had embroidered on at a mall kiosk because he's too chickenshit to actually own his bigotry and wear a Hakenkreuz...
...but I could also believe that there's some athleisure company out there with that logo where when that photo went viral saw it suddenly appear everywhere and just went Fffffuuuuuucckk mmmmeeeeeee..."

I'm not sure the names of those specific people, but it is a famous picture from Charlottesville's Unite the Right ralley. That white shirt in the foreground is a well known outfit for Vanguard America:
Vanguard America is a well known Neo-Nazi/White-Supremacist Group.

The lighting is certainly cinematic.. The warm glow of tiki torches, not a mosquito within 5 miles.

So I guess it was from an Aug 11, 2017 alt-right rally called Unite the Right in Charlottesville Virginia and apparently his name is Peter Cytanovic

This has been happening for years in red states, you just weren’t paying attention. Access to HRT in prison in a red state has always been a shitshow at best, and it’s been decades of back and forth lawsuits and new laws trying to get around the last lawsuit.
BassTurd@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 56d
You just said what OP did with more words. As you pointed out, red states are the ones implementing the policies. Perhaps Democrats wouldn't be passing legislation to make it better, but they wouldn't be passing this trash.

Since there was no reasonable chance of Missouri going blue during the last election, I interpreted the comment as being about national level rather than state level politics.

As a transfemme Missourian, this is ever so reassuring.
Reassuring in the sense that if I chose to commit a crime, I know for certain I would fully commit to the enterprise of doing harm to my enemy, since imprisonment would be a death sentence anyway.

I know, let's make up a whole new interpretation of the law based on what we think someone from hundreds of years ago thought. Let's call it something bonkers like originalism.
Then, because the theory has no legal foundation, let's threaten schools of law that they have to teach it or else.

Flames5123@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 56d
A huge issue with this, besides being cruel, is that about 60-70% of the non-federal jail population are just awaiting trial and may actually be innocent. This gives cops more incentive to just arrest those that they don’t like if they can’t afford to post bail.
This needs to go to a higher court immediately. I just hope they do the right thing…

Well, in a supply and demand method of pricing, there are two ways to decrease prices. One is to lower demand. Nothing decreases demand like killing off some of the populace.

They lie and cheat to keep us down. Just look at gerrymandering. We made a rule against it and they tricked voters into overturning it before it went into effect.
I don’t know if I’m in district 5 or 6 anymore. I checked on the states website and they didn’t know either. It’s a nightmare.

It’s not about science or saving money or protecting inmates or women.
It never ever was.
It’s about hurting people they don’t like. To them, the government is either a red carpet or a cudgel.

I vaguely remember that some hormones are relevant for bone integrity. I imagine losing that would be all around awful.
it_wasnt_arson@awful.systems · 3 pts · 55d
From what I understand, biological systems regulated by sex hormones require one or the other to work at all. For example, you get one pattern of post-puberty bone growth with estrogen, a different pattern with testosterone, and no bone growth at all if you have neither. These systems also have some counterbalancing factor, like your bones constantly being slowly dissolved to keep calcium in your bloodstream, so if you have no gonads and no supplementary hormones, you essentially speedrun osteoporosis over the course of a few years.
I'm not too clear on other effects, but a lot of things are downstream of "your bones slowly melt," and lots of other parts of your body rely on sex hormones to regulate them and will have long-term issues without them.

So did this happen to eunuchs in olden times too?
Sunflier@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 54d
Basically. But, the life span used to be shorter. Also, eunuchs didn't subject themselves to much that could cause them harm: they were mostly present as servants to rich/royal harems/wives of polygamy, or they were apart of the priesthood. But, their life expectancy was low, even for the time.
