Doctor-patient confidentiality is a serious thing. It doesn't matter what you think, you never leak info about people's medical.

The worst part is that these weren’t even his patients - he just decided to share their private medical records to own the libs

Being trans doesn't make you a "lib"

Um, I never said it did. I said this doctor released the information to “own the libs” because he’s an asshat.

Fascists do not see trans people as human beings. It's not a matter of thinking. They literally view trans kids as subhuman and want to implement a state apparatus to forcefully abuse them with conversion therapy.

How many years of GOP control before they pass an amendment to HIPAA that excludes gender-affirming care from its protection?

Years? It'd be quick when they start their plans to destroy America (project 2025)
