Anti-Trans Missouri A.G. Can Now Access Trans People’s Medical Records - Lemmy.World

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 [https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/court-rules-missouri-ag-entitled-to-certain-planned-parenthood-transgender-care-records/article_d65b6842-f8d0-11ee-9814-e7625b653629.html] 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 [https://newrepublic.com/post/172330/missouri-anti-trans-health-care-ban] on gender-affirming care for people of all ages, was quick to celebrate the decision, calling it a “big day” for the state.

WTF is transgender care what is the difference with just old care everybody else gets nobody seems to talk about that. what exactly is meant wit transgender care, is there like gay care lesbian care bi care and what would that even be

There absolutely is. Trans care is whatever care Trans people get. Just like women’s care is the care women get, children’s care is the care children get, along with elder care and care for the disabled. Unqualified “care” is the province only of white, gender conforming, AMAB men, preferably WASPs. You don’t hear as much about it now, but “black healthcare” is what gave us the Tuskegee syphilis human experiment.

Anything these bigots and fascists can use to distinguish the kind of care the “other” receives from normal care is a way to demonize the other and justify making their costs higher and their services worse and less.

women an children or elder care is only differentiated because different biological things happen. the same with female or male biology that's why you would focuses on that. trans is only a very small subset of that. you only say transgender care because you don't want to directly say what it actually is you are actually asking for. transgender care is used because it sounds better then asking for hormones and puberty blockers and after that surgery's. its to marked something with a more familiar term to make it more acceptable. some people want hormones and puberty blockers to be the only way in reducing dysphoria and a big part of that wants surgery to be the only way. calling everybody bigots and fascists because you disagree with someone only shows how weak your arguments are. it does not help your credibility and it only helps to reduce the impact and meaning of the words.

What do you propose to reduce dysphoria other than gender affirming care? Y’all talk a big game but you have no alternatives that aren’t abjectly cruel whilst being entirely ineffective.

gender affirming care is the exact same thing. i do no maybe mental problems should be treated firs and maybe go too a mental health professional instead of doing body altering drugs and surgeries. that would be my radical alternative you know more radical than taking body altering drugs and surgeries. maybe im just extremist.

Trans people... Get mental healthcare? Not sure what you're suggesting here. Are you aware that hormones and surgery, for those who desire them, are the most effective treatment available for trans people? Are you aware that basically no other surgery has a regret rate as low as trans surgeries do?
Show threadbeaxinguApr 14, 2024
for those who desire them oh really what mental healthcare did they get? i don't think that's how it works for hormones and surgery's. i get it because i want to get it like your taking a fucking mint no serious Medical procedure works like that. i think you live in a fantasy world and you seem very invested. because no rationale person would seriously say this.

You really are talking out of your ass. Have you ever actually looked into how trans care works? Because healthcare is very much a part of it.

Maybe we live in fantasy world, but you definitely live in propaganda world.
