  2. >The ruling concerned Andrew Bailey’s [investigation into pediatric care centers](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/05/gop-ag-targets-therapists-working-with-trans-youth-for-investigation/) across the state of Missouri that serve trans children after anti-trans activist [Jamie Reed](https://transdatalibrary.org/person/jamie-reed/) alleged that the clinics rushed and provided improper medical care to transgender children. Reed’s testimony has been criticized for being inaccurate and not accounting for all the information.

    >Bailey argued that Reed’s false information was worth investigating under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MPA), a law regulating consumer protections. Bailey used this reasoning to justify his civil investigative demands against Washington University when asking its trans health center to provide detailed medical information about its patients.

    >Judge Whyte argued that Bailey did not have legal justification to make such sweeping demands from Washington University, including his demands to know the identities and personal health information of the center’s transgender patients.

    So, Republicans are demanding for the right to investigate trans kids medical records and be able to doxx trans kids’ lives and their families as well?

    How the hell is this not being blasted everywhere? This is seriously a clear danger to everyone. Republican AGs are literally stating that if they don’t approve of your family or if you live in a way they deem antithetical to their Christian nationalism, they are going to investigate you and claim your parents are abusers, separating kids from their families. This is terrorism what Andrew Bailey is up to, using trans kids as political pawns for his Christofascist base. There needs to be a recall of Bailey for his perfidious ways.

  5. WTH! This sick freak has no right to anyone’s medical data except his own. What a scumbag!

  7. If it weren’t for Missouri being such a meaningless, federal tit-sucking state, they might compete with TX & FL for elite shithole status. Fortunately, a real judge prevented their most recent unconstitutional and un-American idiocy.

  9. Why do these lawyers even get a say here it’s totally ridiculous. It is up to the person and their doctor

  10. To say I’m glad I finally got out of MO is an understatement.
