In reality, providing trans and nonbinary children with gender-affirming care actually makes them safer. Gender-affirming care decreases the amount of depression and anxiety that trans and nonbinary teenagers feel, and it makes them less likely to consider suicide.
Planned Parenthood derided the decision for allowing Bailey to pursue his “sham investigation,” arguing in a statement that, like abortion access, transgender health care is being “systematically dismantled—little by little, starting with the most vulnerable, including young people.”
“To our patients: rest assured that your private medical records and information will not be disclosed,” wrote the group’s local interim president, Richard Muniz. “As we consider all of our legal options, we want you to know that Planned Parenthood will do everything possible to ensure your rights to privacy and health care are protected. We won’t back down.”

Yo, straight people, this shit is coming for you too. Women of childbearing age are already walking a super fine line when it comes to people accessing their health records. There is ZERO fucking reason for a politician to be accessing your medical records. None.
This is the same group of people who scream foul and invoke the Goldwater rule while we all watch the orange shitgibbon vomit word salad spiced with stochastic terrorism but stomp their feet when reasonable private citizens protest having wholly unqualified politicians reviewing their personal medical information. The people who have been screaming for years that the democrats are going to take away your right to privacy are literally taking away our right to privacy one bigoted and misogynistic law at a time.
