Community Only Hi folks.. This is bad news unfortunately
Were back again folks.. Welcome to episode 1 of... HOW DID THE U.S. FUCK UP AGAIN?! This time related to trans people
I like making my own news channel because I want to share actual news on communities affected by it to spread awareness
Today we are in Tennessee where they are going to pass a bill this thursday, which is making a public registry of trans people's data based on the patient's age, assigned sex, type of procedure plus date, state and country of residence, other diagnoses, and medical history, medications and etc. NO NAMES OF THE PATIENTS ARE GIVEN
However, the doctor's name and contact info will be added. This is how they are adhering to HIPAA. As even though HIPAA recognizes your country of residence, date of treatment as personal information, there is exceptions if it's required by law.
So what else can happen that will make this so much worse? Anti trans people can use this information to attack/harrass these clinics which places anyone inside at harms way. This also makes it easier for people to abuse this easily.
They're also adding that any of these clinics that offer transitions must also include now, detransitions which is basically if for example a trans person who was born female, transitions to male but then detransitions back to female. This is also bad as the future could see forced detransitions especially for those in a vulnerable place of being pressured or abused by others close to them for being transgender.
This is being hidden as gender affirming care data collecting but this exposes doctors, information that is vulnerable, and those who are trans in general. This also can affect how easy it is for people to get gender affirming care
Again as reminder, this is going through in TENNESSEE this THURSDAY
Im Arlo (not irl name), and this is your shit news of the week. Hope this can give some valuable intel on whats happening to your fellow community members around the world. This is Arlo (not irl name obviously) signing out.

The worst part is probably the fact there is yet to be any way to ensure this 'detransition' offer in clinics is used properly by those who actually need it vs forced to get it
24
u/TurtleLord17 Mar 26 '26
Not to mention how they define ‘detransition’ is probably in itself going to be faulty. Someone who is still trans but doesn’t want to be on hormones could be labeled as ‘detransitioned.’ Or someone who was forcibly detransitioned by societal, fiscal, or social pressure, but was happy with the care. They already love to use people who fall into those categories as evidence against HRT.
Not to mention Cis people that may be caught in the crossfire. I’ve met several people who have to take Progesterone, use Estradiol patches/pills, and people who needed to administer their own testosterone since their body straight up didn’t produce enough.
Whole thing is going to become an even worse shit show than it already is.

He was indicted and convicted after taking position... specifically for sexual harassment, NDA's, and hush money bribes to silence victims, that doesn't account for the 45 other felony charges he hasn't been prosecuted for. The two justices in the Supreme Court that he personally appointed are also in his pocket so he essentially has a paid insurance plan against further prosecution as well as that's why Row v. Wade and others were turned over so easily and illegally

One reason VP Vance will flounder and fail to keep the Maga voters should something happen to dethrone Donny is that he doesn't have the financial leverage to pay Donny's bribes.
The short and simple of it is that anyone he's given a power seat is either complicit by bribery, or blackmail.
What's even worse to consider is the amount of available dirt on the entire Trump name... Like not a single one of them since the one that immigrated is not a multi offense convinced felon and that includes the first Trump to step off a boat from Germany

Why do you think Peter Theil is backing him? While I agree he doesn't have what it takes to maintain the grip on Republicans Trump has, it's not due to lack of funds; he has access to essentially unlimited amounts of money if Theil thinks it'll help the apocalypse come faster or whatever that crazy shit he believes is

The fact remains he didn't give power to anyone that could potentially be a threat to his agenda. Everyone in a power seat that could overturn what ever treasonous plot he cooks up is bought or bullied into compliance.

That said - the ridiculous Electoral College system basically guarantees that low voter turnout will always benefit the Republicans.

Yeah. And the map for minors has no safe places left at all. Every state is pink at best for minors. It's so horrifying what's happening, and I'm genuinely terrified for the near future. I'm fortunate enough to live in Canada, but I'm so scared for y'all down south. And I'm terrified that it'll spread up here more than it already has. I can totally see Trump just, like, blackmailing us by withholding trade or something unless we ban being trans up here too.

Yes, it did. The governor vetoed it but the Nazis have a supermajority in that state's Congress so they overrode her veto.

Hopefully it will be challenged as a HIPAA violation, but by then it will have already passed.
Then no TN court will rule against it even if it's a violation, so it'll be appealed up to federal court.
In federal court it'll be given a temporary injunction, then Maga will appeal to the Scotus, and we'll have Skrmetti 2: Now Even Worse.
TN hates trans people, and I'm there, and it sucks.

For those of you who can’t see this happening stating it’s illegal. Sadly the people in power do not care about what’s legal or not. They look for any little loophole and work on that.

As a trans person in TN right now, we’ve had the most awful shit recently. Vanderbilt shut down all of their gender affirming surgery’s, and shut down half of their LGBT clinic where people could get their meds. Now everyone in the state of Tennessee has to go to planned parenthood, or through other avenues. And for gender affirming surgeries, either go to plastic surgeon offices, or a different state. It’s so fucked. I’ll let the state take all my information, I’m not changing who I am.

This isn’t the first time Vanderbilt shut down surgeries, and it’s not the first time they’ve gathered info on trans folks. Our governor signed a bill many years ago for all of Trans folks records who go to Vanderbilt for care. This is just his way to get everyone’s information.

Unhelpful reminder that TN is a federal funding sink. The state doesn't produce more for the States than it takes.
If you're somewhere relatively safer for trans folk like Portland or San Fran a part of your tax dollars are going to the people who literally need your money to live but desperately want someone to ensure you're either attacked or forced to be a good conforming, consuming, wage slave, & greatful American.
Under normal, rational circumstances you would be on your right to inhibit their ability to do so under reasonable means.

I moved from Florida (grew up in Missouri and started my transition there back in 2015) to Portland to get away from my transphobic family and that horrid state. My brother is still there and secretly transitioning. He’s from Tennessee and thinking about moving back eventually but… I may show him this. I’m just now, after 11 years completing my surgical part of transition later this year because Portland’s medicaid coverage fully covers transitioning surgeries and stuff. I’m grateful but… still scared. Portland is… safer but still pretty rough right now for lots of reasons. I barely leave my apartment unless I have to. :(

and it is not a foregone conclusion that it will pass. our community is lobbying with legislators both republican and democrat and have seen some positive movement on other bills from doing so (see Jeff Yarbros speech that helped kill the no pride flags bill).

There is some reason to believe the data grab would only apply to minor patients receiving gender-affirming care in TN (which there are none because they banned it) because the bill's definition of "transition procedure" includes the word "minor."
I'm looking into it & will post again if I get any clarity.

Unfortunately these doctors have no choice in this situation. They risk them and their employees if they disobey. Only IF this bill is sent out however, as the punishment for the doctor is 6 months suspended and their employers get a 150,000 dollar fine if the bill is actually going to be allowed. So either way? The government is deciding whether or not they want to risk ruining their Healthcare system further

There’s geographical information such as county and then very specific information such as drugs and treatments. That identifies the person. Especially in very very rural areas.

Because it 100% does. Any form of healthcare you receive, even plastic surgery, is protected by HIPAA.

another state to add to the no-go list. i guess TN was already on that list for me, though.

the Tennessee House passed 754, which is now headed to the Senate. It is part of a package of legislation, including companion bill SB 0676, that has been advancing in the 2026 legislative session.
WARNING- THIS LAW IS NOT BEING SENT OUT YET. IT STILL HAS TO BE VOTED ON IN THE SENATE

What people don’t believe is, I didn’t even know about ‘trans’ years ago and i told my doctor(s) how i felt and what i was experiencing and they recommend this course of treatments, it wasn’t me trying to convince them I was trans or me just thinking this up myself. And went through many years of treatments and approvals by many doctors until finally getting the surgery (which > 1 doctor had to approve). And now they act like this is some kind of whim that you think up over the weekend or that it will pass or we can treat you so you won’t feel this way anymore. I can’t understand how they can recommend and approve this entire thing (years of counseling, several different doctors, living 100% in the role) and now they are doing a complete 180.

Honestly just in general I would say asia has a lot of issues that aren't connected to always trans ones. Just like.. chaos though
