#Tennessee sucks. The #governor just passed a law creating a #public #database of #trans #people. I don't even have the words to describe just how incredibly cruel and fucked up this is.
Not only is this the first time the state has tried this, medical #information will be collected (major HIPAA violation), and the database will be publicly available.
Arguably, this is the worst and most dangerous anti-trans law in the country and jeopardizes the #safety, privacy, and well being of trans people.

@someguy@beige.party The level of cruelty here reaches all new and unprecedented levels. How does this not constitute a 4th Amendment violation!? Hopefully the courts will see fit to nullify this.

@someguy@beige.party I mean, why? What's the point? Why would any public good be served by this? Yes, I know the answer is bigotry and hate.

@someguy@beige.party yeah. Tennessee is maybe worse than Texas and Florida. And that’s saying a lot.

@someguy@beige.party I live in Middle Tennessee. Just when I thought I couldn't hate this state more.
