""This is a bill that gathers data on trans and gender diverse patients throughout the state, as well as providers. It asks for details around prescriptions, around what's discussed in medical visits, around how long somebody has been in treatment or has been having gender care discussions with their providers.""
""What about the poor folks that took up this transition nonsense and they transitioned to a sex or a gender that they thought would solve their problem, and they just want to be left alone?""
The Tennessee House and Senate have passed a bill that establishes a registry for trans individuals, documenting their gender-affirming care. The bill, sponsored by Representative Jeremy Faison, requires clinics to report details about prescriptions and medical visits. Although sponsors claim the data will not be identifiable, experts warn it could lead to the identification of trans individuals. The bill is framed as a measure to address concerns about regret in medical transitions, but it raises significant privacy and ethical issues for the trans community.
