Sf transgender

The Trump Administration has launched an all-out assault on transgender Americans, threatening to criminalize them, cut off their access to essential medical care, and banish them from public life. At the time, states like Texas, Alabama, and Idaho were criminalizing gender affirming healthcare for minors. SB protects those youth, their families, and their doctors from prosecution or anti-LGBTQ custody battles if they chose to flee to California.

Opening doors to possibility

It limits compliance with extradition orders, warrants, and subpoenas to situations where the U. Constitution requires such compliance. Transgender Californians — and their families and health care providers — need protection more than ever given the assault on transgender Americans led by the Trump Administration and their extremist MAGA allies.

One such risk is the abuse of sensitive medical data. A recent study found that testosterone prescription data in state databases was accessible to law enforcement without basic safeguards e. These databases contain sensitive information, including patient first name, patient gender, patient address, prescriber name, pharmacy name and prescriber address.

The ability to access this information without a warrant presents privacy and safety issues for both providers and patients. It puts both at risk in instances when out of state law enforcement pull an activity report in attempts to prosecute people receiving care that is completely legal in Transgender.

These changes will help to ensure that we protect individuals seeking medically necessary health care and safety, as well as their allies, against hostile actors in or out of the state. Press Release. February 20,
