    Per the lawsuit, PFLAG National states that it would be required to disclose Texas trans youth members, including “complete names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, jobs, home addresses, telephone numbers, [and] email addresses.” It also states they would need to hand over documents and communications related to their medical care, hospitals outside the state, and “contingency plans” discussed among members for navigating the new laws on gender-affirming care in Texas.

    What the actual fuck? Trying to get enough information to ruin them for the rest of their lives. This isn’t only reprehensible from the targeting of LGBT people, it is the worst proposed privacy nightmare I’ve heard of any US based government proposing. I… I need to go throw up.

      You know… Land of the free and such. So much freedom you’ll get persecuted for who you are and whom you love. Can’t have that.

      Where have I seen that before? Was it that one Germanic country in Europe? I’ve forgotten the name, but it ended with “any” and had a dude with a strange mustache as a leader.

      And no I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. The Nazis didn’t start murdering, they sneaked up on the country, started making lists, started spreading lies and fear, started a “them versus us” litany. Sounds familiar? Yeah, for me as well.
