Granby senator helps introduce bill to protect minors
Missouri State Senator Jill Carter, of Granby, is helping head a piece of legislation that aims to protect children from being subjected to hormone therapy or life-altering sex change surgical procedures before the age of 18.
The Missouri Times reports Carter and Senators Mike Moon, Denny Hoskins, and Bill Eigel held a press conference on SB 49, known as the “Missouri Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” or the SAFE Act, alongside Chloe Cole and Luka Hein who had received transgender treatment as minors.

Carter says as the mother of a child with autism, she is particularly troubled by the way that this vulnerable population is being taken advantage of. She says a report last year on a British transgender center showed that one third of the patients referred are on the autism spectrum. I joined several of my colleagues in signing a letter to Senate leadership requesting a special committee to investigate the claims made against Washington University in St. Louis.
