A federal grand jury in the Northern District of Texas issued the subpoena demanding information on every minor who received gender-affirming care since 2020.
Boy are they going to be disappointed here. According to insurance data the NYU Langone hospitals had a total of three minor patients who received gender affirming care between 2019-2023, and all three received surgery. Chances are they were 16-17 year old trans men who had top surgery.
It's safe to assume there were more patients between 2024-2026 but if they're looking for a goldmine of patients to prove a point, they're not even fishing in the right state. In that same timespan, there were only 1,151 total trans minors who received any kind of gender affirming care in the entire state of New York. That's about 384 patients per year.
I'd rather go to prison myself than allow those I'd care for be hunted by the state. It would make headlines and show we aren't here to be pushed around.
I read an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer this past week about how the regime dropped their subpoena for records from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). At first blush, it may seem like a win, but the thought is they dropped it so they can redo it from a certain court in Texas. It's all so fucking beyond horrible.
If you are a healthcare provider, and you are ever faced with a subpoena like this one... 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴. If it means you go to prison, you go to prison. There is 𝘯𝘰 good reason for any government entity to demand information on minor patients belonging to a minority group being targeted by said government. They definitely want to hurt your patients. They may well want to kill your patients. If you care about your patients, 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 instead of handing them over. Destroy the backups. Destroy the backups of the backups. Burn every physical copy. Stonewall. Obfuscate. 𝘓𝘪𝘦. Do not cooperate. If you do, then you will be complicit in whatever evil things they intend for your patients. It takes time for suboenas to be enforced; use that time to do absolutely everything you can, legal or not, to prevent these people from achieving their aims. Defend your patients. They trusted you with their most intimate secrets; they trusted you with their bodies; they trusted you with their lives. Earn that trust, and shut. This. Shit. 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯. However you can, to whatever degree you can.
Such bullshit from a bunch of old, cis, white, male christian nationalists.
What harm tyrants first do to the few will last be done to the many.

Facts don't matter just headlines
That’s sadly true because most people form their entire worldview based on headlines.
To the Nazis, that just means they can get down the target list quicker.

There's an obvious right choice here.
