[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DeSantis gave a deadline for Florida's public colleges to turn over the medical records of students experiencing gender dysphoria and seeking gender affirming care. 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.[b] I don't get how turning over medical records is legal.[/b] 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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]
