A judge ordered Planned Parenthood to hand records of transgender care over to Andrew Bailey.
A St. Louis judge has ruled that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is entitled to Planned Parenthood’s transgender care records, ordering the nonprofit to turn over some of its most sensitive files to the man who has built his unelected political career on restricting health care access for trans people.
In his Thursday decision, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer wrote that Bailey can collect documents under Missouri’s consumer protection statute that aren’t protected under federal mandate, namely the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, better known as HIPAA.
“It is clear from the statute that the Defendant has the broad investigative powers when the consumer is in possible need of protection and there is no dispute in this matter,” wrote Stelzer. “Therefore, the Defendant is entitled to some of the requested documents within his [Civil Investigative Demand].”
Bailey, who last year attempted to implement a ban on gender-affirming care for people of all ages, was quick to celebrate the decision, calling it a “big day” for the state.
Here you go.
You can not agree with certain stats, but obviously many kids are either confused or being actively influence, what is the percentage that desist?
Your super hung up on this desistance thing which I already addressed to you in multiple comments.
As to surgery, I don’t think that top surgery is an issue (or hormones). I did read that article.
You address it by saying that they wont get diagnosed with gender dysphoria, but the problem is that I dont just believe that is the truth. If you look at where all these kids are getting diagnosed or say they are trans, its highly concentrated in areas where the ideology encourages it. And if people think that “gender affirming care” for minors is good, more and more minors will be given hormones and have surgeries dont on them due to false diagnosis. If you claim this is not happening and wont increase then you are just obviously wrong. The issue here is that you have to step out of your ideology and see what is happening, and why its happening, and its not because there are suddenly something like 20 times more kids with gender dysphoria.
Less than 300 kids a year get top surgery, bottom surgery isn’t happening at all.
And yes, misdiagnosis does happen. Which means we need better methodology rather than moral panic from the right.
The medical profession that is involved in this area is doing its best to improve the methodology. While the right is doing its best to promote its own harmful ideology based on religion, fear, and bigotry.
I literally linked you an article that you allegedly read and then told me the exact opposite thing it shows…
Sorry, but you seem to just be reading into things what you want and will not actually have an honest appraisal what is happening. If you cant get those basic things right when I show you evidence you will just use your bias to confirm what you wish.
The last stat in the article was for 2021. 282 children received top surgery that year according to the graph in the article. How is that the opposite of what it shows or different from what I just said (less than 300 a year undergo top surgery.)?
Do you have similar feelings about circumcision? Just curious. I was circumcised as an infant with no real medical basis (there was no diagnosis, only social norms propagated by a prude). And I wish it hadn’t happened. It feels like a violation of my sexual boundaries and bodily autonomy.
Yet, I see no moral outrage on this issue and kids are still being circumcised every day.
The data obviously shows an increasing trend so it is obviously above 300 unless you have different data. And you didnt even recognize this part as being wrong- “bottom surgery isn’t happening at all.”
Can you show me where it says bottom surgery is happening? I only see it mentioned top surgery in the article.
Did you have a response to my question about circumcision? I’m being serious here. Circumcision happens all of the time and is more destructive than top surgery and you don’t seem upset about that at all.
Its in the article.
