Anti-trans Missouri A.G. can now access trans people’s medical records - eviltoast

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.

      You’re right, all this time on Lemmy plus the over a decade on Reddit shows that I have not really talked to a lot of people who I disagree with. You’ve figured it out.

      It can’t just be that I don’t say bigoted things.

        exactly its that you think reddit is serious business. of course you have been on reddit for a decade the place where serious debates happen. no wonder this is how you argue. like i told you before this is not something to brag about. i find this very funny.

          I think Reddit is serious business? I was bragging about something?

          Funny, I didn’t know I thought that.

          Apparently you know what I think better than I do.

          Is that the way I’m supposed to argue? By telling you what you think and believe?

            dude you said you have been on reddit for a decade to brag about how long you did without being called a bigot. and you seriously used reddit to show how well you use the internet and to how many people you talked that disagree with you. when reddit is the biggest circle jerk on the internet where people think they have serious debates and this is exactly what you said.

              I know you want me to have been bragging, but I still wasn’t bragging.

              Also, I don’t know what you mean by “how well you used the internet.” Is there a way to use it well?

                OK dude. using reddit means you are a very serious internet user. and definitely when you keep your conversations very clean.

                  You do like to make up things I said, don’t you? I never said I was a “very serious internet user.” I’m not a very serious anything.

                  Anything else about me you’d like to lie about?

                    why are you even saying this. this all started with you saying hey nobody ever called me a bigot so that must mean wink nod wink nod if people on the internet call you that then you must be one because nobody called me that on the internet. then i said then you must have never used the interned properly because anybody can call you anything on the internet this means nothing. then you tried to show how well you know how too use the internet by saying that you used reddit for a decade and i made fun of you for that because reddit is very serious business with it being the front page of the internet and all. yes redditors are not funny at all. and you have just shown you actually do think its very serious business just look at what you are saying. that is the funniest part you are showing what i said in real time while saying I’m not a very serious anything and seriously asking Anything else about me you’d like to lie about? thank you this was very entertaining.
