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.
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.
Okay, 56 over a three-year period. That’s less than 20 a year. And the article did not show it in a graph, so I missed it. I don’t know what those circumstances were, so I don’t have an informed opinion on those incidents. They are very rare though in a nation of millions. And, to put things in context, the AG is asking for all of Planned Parenthoods records regarding gender-affirming care. Including nonsurgical ones. In fact, the AG stated this was about hormones specifically.
So, what are your thoughts on circumcision? I sense no moral panic from you on this surgery, even though it’s performed on the genitals of minors and causes permanent damage to the sexual organs (loss of sensation). Or does your moral outrage only apply to minors with gender dysphoria and not healthy infants?
Seriously, if you don’t answer my question about circumcision, I’m done replying. Because I’m sensing a double standard here that implies your position is more about transphobia than ethics.
I am done with this conversation you are just going to believe whatever you want.
Nah. You’re just transphobic. And this is about your fear. It has nothing to do with kids genitals. Otherwise you would care about circumcision and you wouldn’t lie about the statistics, even after you posted them.
Going to the “TRANSPHOBE!!!” line. Have a great life!
