The ACLU of Missouri works in the courts, at the statehouse, and in communities to defend the rights of transgender people in Missouri. As local and federal laws rapidly shift, it’s crucial for trans people and their loved ones to stay informed about their rights and freedoms.
This guide is designed to help transgender people as well as their parents, caregivers, and loved ones understand their legal rights in Missouri.

*Please note that the current legal system assumes people identify as one gender, either male or female.

A person may identify or express as a specific gender, both genders, or neither gender.
The law in this area changes frequently. This guide was last updated in June 2026.
