The article says that in addition to the records they want ages of the patient and the dates they received treatment. Gender dysphoria has both a DSM diagnosis (for counseling) and an ICD 10 diagnosis (for medical issues) so I'm not clear if the records are being pulled from the counseling center, the medical center, or both.

Insider has confirmed that University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, Florida A&M University, Florida International University, and the University of North Florida have complied with the request, but has yet to hear back from the rest.

I suspect they're going to try to pass a law(?) that public university funds from free counseling/medical services can't be used to treat gender dysphoria/provide gender affirming care. I don't get how turning over medical records is legal. When I was a counselor, those records included session notes.



It definitely doesn't seem legal to me. It's why Texas was targeting drivers license gender changes rather than the private medical records of adults.

They may be writing a law or something but I'm not sure why they would need people's records to do that? It actually screams making lists of undesirables. Last year there were people in FL talking about making lists of all the trans people in the state. It's really weird that they would need to identify all trans people unless they plan on targeting them specifically with something.


PII will probably be redacted. If it isn't then the schools have violated federal law and some students are going to get some nice payouts.


That was my guess too, but the article teases out "medical records" from ages and treatment dates. True medical records would need a lot of redacting to remove identifying information.

And why isn't HIPAA an issue?


Agreed

I’m so glad you don’t live in Nazi Florida. Whew!


I’m a Floridian, born and raised. Any true conservative would see the problem with his bans and government overreach.


Sorry, I live in Florida too and I love DeSantis.


Yep DeSantis does not have much appeal outside of Florida.


Who wants this mind numbing focus on trans people and banning books. It is all trying way too hard and is so dull and unimportant.



DeSantis is very popular in the south. He is less focused on trans and books than is portrayed in left wing media. He is much more focused on business and immigration, which makes him popular. Most people just dont think often about trans issues outside of sports, so its not a huge winning political issue like immigration.

My mom is a conservative in FL and really dislikes DeSantis. She wants Tim Scott. But Tim Scott is never on the national scene. At least DeSantis lets us see him and evaluate him.


This just isn't true. He's incredibly focused on it, and it's apparent in the schools and how our kids are learning, or not, in Florida.


Instead of blacklisting books, they've solved the problem in FL. They have a white list of books approved for consumption by children. If a book isn't specifically on the list, you can't have it in school classrooms. Emphasis on WHITE.
