I am a hobbyist security researcher, filterlist maintainer, and wannabe law nerd. I help maintain the Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool. I post about a variety of topics including cybersecurity, content filtering, law, tech, and trans rights. This is also the best place to find updates on my filterlists, as I often post about bugs and improvements to them. I am not an expert; do not take anything I toot as truth. Retoot/like != agreement. Not legal/medical advice. Profile picture: truncated screenshot of a WINE error message. The error message is titled "Download failed". The message reads "Download Failed: Success. Check your connection and click 'Retry' to try downloading the files again, or click 'Next' to continue installing anyway." There is only one button labeled "OK". Header image: A Windows error message against the default Windows wallpaper. The error message reads "Windows cannot find iam-py-test. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

A Tennessee bill would require medical providers of gender affirming care to submit detailed information about their patients. While these reports can not contain explicit identifying information, this detailed information includes the age, assigned sex at birth, and county of residence for the patient. It also would include information about the medical treatments they are receiving, and the identity of their physician.
This information is detailed enough to identify the patient.

The bill also requires providers to publish yearly statistical reports, though I am not sure what specific information these reports would contain.

TLDR; it is not a public registry of trans people in Tennessee, but it still raises serious privacy issues.
Its also seemingly a solution in search of a problem, since I'm not sure of a single valid reason for this detailed information to be submitted to the government.
The way the bill is written, and the language used within, makes clear the transphobic intent of the authors.
