“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”

Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.

    I agree with the idea but it should be up to the institutions to decide, not the federal or state government. I’m sure it would be a contentious issue as some schools would allow it while others wouldn’t. But let those institutions spend time and money figuring it out, not the government.

    The only argument they have is that we need to “protect biological females” but even that is performative bull shit since the right doesn’t actually care about women like that. The same way they are “pro-life” until the baby is actually born and they strip any kind of welfare benefits or school lunch programs.

    Politicians love this shit cuz they don’t have to address actual issues like affordability or taxes etc.
