Major medical companies are using state law and medical records software to advance gender ideology among children and keep their parents in the dark about their so-called "transitions."
Electronic health records (EHR) are not just tools that streamline visits to the doctor's office or present the doctor and patient with an easily-digestible overview of patient health, medications, and appointments.
Using state laws to limit "proxy" access to parents, health systems deploy these EHRs as a conduit to hide attempts at childhood "gender transition" from parents, often starting transgender interventions on children as young as 12 or 13 years old.
According to a new report from Do No Harm (DNH), EHR companies across the country limit and advocate limiting parental access to their children's health records around 12 or 13, often using state laws passed years ago with the purpose of blocking parental access to medical records related to sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and treatment or treatment for substance abuse.
