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.
What is the “craziest shit possible” and which groups are supporting it? “Someone on Twitter said something and got two likes” isn’t very interesting here.
What evidence do you have that the medical field is compromised? What evidence would convince you otherwise?
Depression is about feelings, too. Should we tell people with depression to fuck off it’s fake no assistance for you?

Actually, depressed people aren’t barred from getting a rhinoplasty, or a boob job, or lip filler, so I’m not sure what the point you’re making is. You haven’t provided any evidence. I also haven’t, yet. If I did, would you care, or would you blow it off? Things you’ve said to me so far suggest that any research I provide will be called woke and captured and lies, so I haven’t bothered. If there’s a point, I’m happy to. You’ve just explicitly said things that make me doubt there is.
