    Retention of records really needs to become part of a patient’s expressed consent. Clinically, it’s beneficial for us to have your medical history available for immediate reference if we’re ever caring for you… but if that comes with any risk to our patients later being confronted by Nazis, we need to go back to paper charting. Following completion of care, surrender all records directly to the patient for them to file or destroy at their own discretion, and keep nothing on site.

      AND safer to leave the US for gender affirming care and perhaps even medication?

      Im not trans but I would imagine it would be kinda scary for those who don’t travel often to have to deal with medical treatment in a country they’re not familiar with, and also the repeated trips in and out increase the odds of customs/transit gestapo interactions which, i would imagine, would cause a lot of anxiety especially now as states are doing various fucked up things to crack down on trans people existing

      It might still be worth pursuing for some people, i just get why it would be just as daunting as simply staying here
