Transgender patients are suing Vanderbilt University Medical Center

It’s the hospital that gave away their records to Tennessee's AG via bogus legal request

The same bogus request that other red state AGs are using to gain more records

If there is a political party that targets a minority, puts them on a list, tracks their every movement, and uses them as a scapegoat—

what would you say about that political party?

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is being sued by its transgender clinic patients, who accuse the hospital of violating their privacy by turning their records over to Tennessee’s attorney general.

@flexghost Spot on anology. “Ask not who the shithole countries are. Ask why your country is a shithole country.”
@RodneyPetersonTalent easy. Because we never punished the enslavers and traitors. In fact, we gave them more wealth and power

@flexghost
“Big Brother”…persecution as prosecution.
“Culture Wars McCarthyism”…

“It's not just about abortion, it's about the next 20 yrs In the '20s & '30s it was the role of govt. '50s & '60s it was civil rts. The next 2 decades are going to be #privacy. I'm talking about the 🛜 . I'm talking about cell phone📱. I'm talking about health records who's gay & who's not. & moreover, in a country born on the will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this?”- Sam Seaborn WW

@flexghost I hope Vanderbilt U Medical Center is facing federal sanctions for violating HIPAA mandates.
@SharonGibson3 they can claim it wasn’t a violation because they were compelled legally….for a bs civil case
@flexghost
They'll keep cooperating unless they're sued, so it's good that they're suing
@flexghost Funfact: This picture was very likely shot in the city of Nuermberg (Franconia) during the Nazi Party Ralley between 1933 and 1938.
@flexghost as a Independent VOTER I hate republicans now. Even the so called good pnes can't do squat about the slugs running the GOP!
@flexghost Forward these requests to DOJ and see if they want to send "cease and desist" letters, complete with citations of the laws violated by these AGs...
@flexghost
Another Red state flouts federal law, in this case HIPAA. #Abbott believes that the state of TX controls the US border with Mexico and can ignore environmental laws controlling barring blocking US waterways and basic human rights violations involving their scattering razor wire on federally controlled land and waterways. #TX has basically seceded from the Union. We should remove all federal aid to TX and send in the Marines to clean up OUR border and the Rio Grande.

@flexghost Why is this even possible? HIPAA states clearly that this is only for evidence of a crime - and then only for specific persons and not "give me the records of all gay men".

This would not be a hospital anymore I can trust. I would have expected that the hospital denies and brings the case up into the court hierarchies to show that they care about patients.

@toor res state AGs are at war with our most at risk citizens and they don’t care about the law.
@flexghost good for them! That was an incredible violation of HIPAA as well as their individual right to privacy! No state or business should be able to release your records without your knowledge, let alone publish them. #transrightsarehumanrights
@flexghost as if bill lee and his goons aren't slobbering at the bit to emulate their favorite germans
@flexghost you mean like anti gun groups want to do?
@flexghost And I would call anyone who worked with them Collaborators.
The proper response to a 'legal request' is:
"Fuck you. Get a warrant."
If people/ institutions with the power to fight don't, then it gets much harder for the rest of us.
I live in TN and have worked in healthcare. What the AG did is unconstitutional AND how Vanderbilt capitulated is unconscionable.
@flexghost
Sue the fuck out of them.
@flexghost That's a HIPPA violation. How are they getting away with that?

The Swastika/SS tramp stamps are also a bit of a giveaway
