It’s a topic that has been gaining attention nationwide amid backlash to woke extremists’ efforts to corrupt children.
The issue has come to the forefront even more as a result of corporate America’s insistence on forcing woke extremism on the working class.
And now the woke left-wing outrage mob has Missouri in its crosshairs after Governor Mike Parson signed this one bill into law.
A strong stance to protect kids
Missouri Republican Governor Mike Parson has signed the “SAFE” Act into law, which bans life-altering, irreversible so-called “gender-affirming” sex change operations for minors, as well as those imprisoned in the state’s correction system.
The law prohibits clinicians from performing gender transition surgeries on children, while also preventing them from prescribing children dangerous hormones and puberty blockers for the process of medically transitioning.
“We support everyone’s right to his or her own pursuit of happiness; however, we must protect children from making life-altering decisions that they could come to regret in adulthood once they have physically and emotionally matured,” Parson tweeted. “These decisions have permanent consequences for life and should not be made by impressionable children who may be in crisis or influenced by the political persuasions of others.”

The law also forbids gender transition surgery, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormones to be provided by state prisons, jails, or correctional centers.
But the Missouri Governor didn’t stop there.
Parson also signed a bill into law mandating that all schools separate sports based upon the biological distinction of male and female.
He threatened to remove state financial support if individual institutions do not comply.
“In Missouri, we support real fairness, not injustice disguised as social righteousness,” Parson said.
Missouri Democrats cried foul and complained about both measures.
Democrats disgruntled
“The stain of this action will not wash away,” Missouri Democrat state House Minority Leader Crystal Quade said. “The Governor had a chance to protect innocent families who are just trying to live their lives in peace. Instead, he chose to persecute them.”

The LGBTQ Commission of Kansas City, a newly established part of the city council, is demanding that the Biden Department of Justice “step in now” regarding both measures.
This law follows similar legislation passed by Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida, which has been temporarily blocked by a woke federal judge.
Louisiana legislators have also sent their own ban on life-altering, irreversible sex change operations for minors to Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards, but it has yet to be signed.
