Doctors In Tennessee Now Have To Give The Government Detailed Information About Their Trans Patients

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) signed a bill into law Thursday that vastly expands the state’s power to gather information about transgender patients and their healthcare providers.

Clinics that receive state funding will now be required to provide aggregated data about transgender patients and their doctors to the state, and the information will be made publicly available.

Health care providers will be tasked with detailing the age and *** of patients receiving any type of gender-affirming care, as well as the type of procedure, names of drugs, dosages, frequencies, methods by which drugs are administered, and any diagnoses of mental health or neurological conditions. Clinics will also have to disclose the name, contact information and medical speciality of any health care provider who offers gender-affirming care.

Any state-funded clinic that offers gender-affirming care will also have to provide similar information about patients who detransition, meaning they once sought gender transition and now want to stop or reverse some aspects of it.

1. Government so small you can drown it in a bathtube

2. Data of which will be sucked up by Peter Thiel's massive data aggregator company, Palantir Technologies.

Then for dissemination to anyone who wants pay at the hefty price for the information in that database.

The weaponization of medical records while privacy is tossed from the tenth story window headed to splat on the concrete sidewalks below.

5. Detailed information of doctors and patients involved in gender affirming care

.. to be added to a data base accessible by the public.

So if some Fascist gun nut recently got an AR-15 and was itching to take it out on a test drive. He could then grab the trans doctor/patient list from the data base then go shoot all the "trans abominations" he could locate during his kill the nasty trans hunting andnpshooting spree.

This will be like shooting people you don't like.. - akin - to shooting fish in a barrel. (Such a captive audience is difficult to miss when you are shooting at them like this in such a confined space.

3. Um.... hello?

So HIPAA isn’t a thing anymore?

4. Doesn't apply; the data is (supposedly) aggregated.

7. This is why unscrupulous governmental agencies and data users like doing business with private data aggregators,...

.... and collectors.

The private data brokers/aggregators vacuums up valid and questionable data for his massive data bsse. Then offers this data for sale. The buyer of the data likes dealing with a private data broker who sells the collected data for a fee. But if anything goes bad in the provenance of the data. The buyer/user just says I bought the data on the open market,... I had no knowledge or intentions to violate anyone's privacy,.. so don't blame innocent little me.

They are all attempting to give each other plausible deniability for use and sale of data which should otherwise remain safely behind the walls of privacy and common human decency. M.Y.O.B. with an exclamation point is the message that should slap them all in the face or hitting them with costly lawsuits might be a viable remedy.

6. I'm sure the data won't be leaked, or be used for nefarious purposes
