The FBI will bring felony charges against a doctor accused of leaking the private health data of transgender youth to Chris Rufo. Dr. Eithan Haim has admitted to leaking partially redacted medical records he accessed while working as a resident at Texas Children’s Hospital.

This is not the “plain truth.” I was determined not to go to a shelter when I was unhoused and sleeping in a tent because I had heard stories from the other teenage girls about the sexual assaults and rapes they endured in those horribly unsafe shelters. I wasn’t on drugs either.
