"[T]his Court joins the others in finding that the government's demand for deeply private and personal patient information carries more than a whiff of ill-intent,"
""This is apparent from its rhetoric.""
"The site calls trans health care as "fraud," a "barbaric practice," and "genital multilation," even though the vast majority of gender-affirming care for youth has nothing to do with surgery."
"The Court is uncertain whether the general public is aware of how broad the government'scampaign is against transgender people,"
U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon blocked the Department of Justice subpoena seeking personal health information of minors receiving gender-affirming care at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Bissoon found that the government's stated justification masked anti-trans animus and pointed to incendiary language on the DOJ website that called trans care "fraud," a "barbaric practice," and "genital multilation." The ruling noted that most gender-affirming care for youth does not involve surgery and criticized the government's broader campaign against transgender people. The court rejected the government's timeliness argument as disingenuous.
