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.
They reason you dont “play my game” is becuase it takes you out of the ideological capture and looks at the issue impartially.
Hormone blockers after X period of time do cause permanent change or damage. I dont claim to know exactly what the time period is, but it obviously does. Also there are surgeries happening to minors. The question you have to ask is what is the desistance rate for minors? Not detransition, desistance.
It’s not looking at the issue impartially. It’s looking at the issue through a distorted lens based on a cosmetic procedure rather than a medical one because you want to prove your own ideology.
As for the rest of your comment, the endocrine society has stated that hormone blockers are safe for transgender youth. They’re also used for youth that have precocious puberty, in other words that are going through puberty early.
Hormone blockers have been used in medicine since the 1980s. They’ve only become an issue now because the right has ideological issues with trans people.
Most of the medical establishment believes that they are safe. The experts believe they are safe. You believe that the experts are wrong and have been captured by a harmful ideology. The majority of them. Not a single misinformed doctor that’s agreeing to a face tattoo. Most of the medical establishment agrees this is safe and you believe that they’ve all been captured by a harmful ideology.
So I find it far more likely that the experts are right and the politicians are pushing an agenda. That the politicians are pushing a harmful ideology. One that you bought into. Most likely because you have prejudice against trans people.
Puberty blockers used for normal testable medical disorders, I agree but that is different than for trans related things. And there are also surgeries on minors happening. Do you actually think if a 13 year old takes homone blockers till they are 18 and then stops their body is not permanently harmed or altered?
The question you have to answer is what is the desistance rate for minors? Not detransition, desistance. For your own ideology that number is super important.
It’s a medical disorder. It’s a normal testable medical disorder. Thank you for admitting puberty blockers are safe and have been used since the 1980s.
Now please link me evidence that surgery is happening on minors in the United States. Because if that’s what your argument in fact hinges on show me the evidence.
