What does this mean?

That the medical privacy of trans youth has no protections.

That ideologues in hospitals can play politics with kids personal medical data and there will be no consequences.

That trans Americans are second class citizens.

Seems like it would be a good idea to set up a registry of HIPA offenders and their employers. Anyplace that would hire him isn't to be trusted -- and I wouldn't be too sure about the other folks working there either.

catsharkchaireth.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hate this so fucking much

upine.bsky.social•28 days ago

All ppl who act on T's behalf and/or share his prejudices seem to be getting protected now. This is a trans issue and is also more than that.

Means that the Justice Dept is now DOA.

If this ass still has a medical license, may I suggest concerned TX residents flood the TX Medical Board with complaints about him violating HIPAA?

twelfth.bsky.social•29 days ago

You might forget who the Texas Attorney General is. A guy who is a federally indicted suspect (with tons of his own staff flipping on him bc he's a fking criminal) and does not give half a fuck whether what he does is legal. He do it anyway. Pointless endeavor.

It’s Texas. Asshole gonna asshole.

alihh.bsky.social•29 days ago

Lol no lie detected.

lovemadle.bsky.social•28 days ago

Honestly, this would help. Dan Patrick and Gov Greg Abbot don’t control the TMB.
Pls. Concerned citizens should flood their emails, switchboard and report lines. This is a four alarm fire masquerading as a little grease fire. This is how fascism began. Medical privacy is a bedrock of a healthy US.

alihh.bsky.social•28 days ago

1000%!!

wickeditalian.bsky.social•28 days ago

So they're just ignoring HIPAA now? Fucking wonderful. 🤬

leonchapman.bsky.social•29 days ago

And he’s somehow currently employed.

I remember when this came out. It’s basically the textbook definition of a HIPAA violation. Don’t have access, not your patients, disclosure.

Right!? I'm so mad.

jonvw4.bsky.social•28 days ago

It's unfortunate that Trump's base doesn't care about HIPAA as it applies to doctors, health insurance, medical providers, etc...

Only HIPPA, and how it applies to the waitress at Denny's...

These people are weird.

mschemistrymd.bsky.social•29 days ago

All of the above…
And I doubt the medical board will care either…

@assignedmedia.org Time to trot out Frank Wilhoit again: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

karilassauniere.bsky.social•29 days ago

It means America has one law for cis people and another for trans people. You know where else they had one law for one population group and another for a “separate but equal” population group? Apartheid South Africa. America is an apartheid state.

midnightmasseffect.bsky.social•29 days ago

theres no law against cis minors getting plastic surgery. but there certainly are for trans youth. its never been about protecting children and its always been about targeted harassment.

adventureren.bsky.social•29 days ago

It would be interesting to see how they act if all of their medical information - like low T, the "female" hormones they had to take for their prostate, the Viagra they need to prove themselves - was released. I don't approve of meds being ammo, but it would give them a slice of their own pie.

midnightmasseffect.bsky.social•29 days ago

"meds being ammo" and "slice of their own pie" is a mixed metaphor.

:p

adventureren.bsky.social•29 days ago

I am an electric mixer. Vrrrrrrrr

mankow.bsky.social•29 days ago

It means another reason to not go to Texas, do any business in texas, or do business with any texas based organizations.....

It also means no other medical privacy breech will likely be held accountable. Expect folks to use this to justify finding out about women and girls in relation to pregnancy.

Only the Leader gets to saw what is lawful or not. You never know until he tells you. We'll have to get used to this, because I'm not seeing anyone in power stopping him.

pediatricskc.medsky.social•27 days ago

My question is why aren't people in position doing something? It's like they're all doing their best to make it appear all is normal, from the outgoing administration to lawyers and judges to media...

Why?

krisellyn.bsky.social•27 days ago

... why movts in their prepower, revolutionary stage can attract so many ordinary [ppl] is that their members live in a fool’s paradise of normalcy; the party members are surrounded by the normal world of sympathizers & the elite formations by the normal world of ordinary members (Arendt 368).

This poem has been on my mind so much lately:

krisellyn.bsky.social•26 days ago

Sad thing is all these social media warriors remain bystanders in real life. They'll watch babies be put in cages again. That's normal. I want to know what they'll do when they come for their neighbors, instead of 'others.' My guess, they'll line up outside of those apartments & steal their stuff.

pediatricskc.medsky.social•26 days ago

We need another response other than ♥️

billiejsweeney.bsky.social•29 days ago

Patient confidentially has been a pillar of medicine for generations. This case demonstrates that bigots are determined to dismantle any principle, break any law in pursuit of their evil anti-trans campaign.

It’s immoral.

parvesh.bsky.social•28 days ago

HIPA violation?

sogie.info•28 days ago

HIPPA is high on the GOP hit list :-(

parvesh.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh yeah…🤦🏾‍♂️

sogie.info•27 days ago

Oops, we misspelled it: HIPAA

parvesh.bsky.social•27 days ago

Context clues ;-)
