This will probably work...

And if it doesn't, they'll just implement it anyway even if Missourians vote against it. (Wouldn't be the first time they've done that with one bill or another.)

As a missorian surrounded by missourians. I wouldn't bet against it. Far too many of them have never met a trans person. And they are fucking terrified.
