Justice Department Demands Trans Care Info

[RandySF]

“The Justice Department is demanding that hospitals turn over a wide range of sensitive information related to medical care for young transgender patients, including billing documents, communication with drug manufacturers and data such as patient dates of birth, Social Security numbers and addresses,” the Washington Post reports.

“The subpoena, as well as public statements by Bondi’s chief of staff, indicate the federal government is attempting to build cases against medical providers that allege they may have violated civil and criminal statutes while providing care that was legal in their states.”

5. There are exceptions for law enforcement -

But those exceptions don't justify a full-out fishing expedition. They are narrow, and generally require a court order or exigent circumstances.

Republicans and Trump are like all, "oh my, a trans lady might use a bathroom stall made for women", these people are creepy and wrong...

3. My theory is

that at some point in the 70s or 80s the Felonious Cunk was extremely attracted to someone he brought home or that a hotel only to find out that the person was trans....and his psychy couldn't handle it.

4. "...wtf are they afraid of?"

Diversity, inclusion, expressions of individual liberty – all extremely frightening to the fascist right.
