Gender Clinic Workers Kept a Spreadsheet of Trans Patients' Names. Here's What Happened Next.

If you’re familiar with the name Jesse Singal, it’s probably because you’ve encountered his famous anti-trans screeds in the Atlantic or on his substack.

Today, we’re learning something even more damning about the “Blocked and Reported” host whose fearmongering around trans youth and autonomy served as an accelerant for the right’s current genocidal attack on the community at large. According to information from Singal’s own substack, workers at Washington University’s Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, a gender-affirming care center, allegedly broke HIPAA laws by making lists of the names of patients who they believed were “on the fence” about their transness.
