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.

      Here you go.

      You can not agree with certain stats, but obviously many kids are either confused or being actively influence, what is the percentage that desist?

          You address it by saying that they wont get diagnosed with gender dysphoria, but the problem is that I dont just believe that is the truth. If you look at where all these kids are getting diagnosed or say they are trans, its highly concentrated in areas where the ideology encourages it. And if people think that “gender affirming care” for minors is good, more and more minors will be given hormones and have surgeries dont on them due to false diagnosis. If you claim this is not happening and wont increase then you are just obviously wrong. The issue here is that you have to step out of your ideology and see what is happening, and why its happening, and its not because there are suddenly something like 20 times more kids with gender dysphoria.

              Less than 300 kids a year get top surgery, bottom surgery isn’t happening at all.

              I literally linked you an article that you allegedly read and then told me the exact opposite thing it shows…

              Sorry, but you seem to just be reading into things what you want and will not actually have an honest appraisal what is happening. If you cant get those basic things right when I show you evidence you will just use your bias to confirm what you wish.

                  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.”
