Hi. I’m looking for a trans-friendly electrologist that will not require any sort of identification. I’m in Louisiana and was told that I will not be allowed to benefit from electrology in my state due to the identification requirement.
I would appreciate any help that can be provided to me regarding this.
Thanks.
I have never heard of this before! can you give more details? Exact words on what Identification requirement means…
I was told it’s the law in Louisiana that anyone seeking electrology must provide their legal name and some sort of proof. When I said I wasn’t going to be giving photo ID, I was asked if I could show my birth certificate. That’s really invasive and creepy.
I’ve not been able to locate any information on laws regarding electrology in the state of Louisiana, so I can’t verify that I was told the truth. What I know is that two separate electrologists have required legal name and other identification in order to schedule a consultation, and one told me that it’s legally required here.
Not to be obtuse, but go to someone else. I highly doubt this is a requirement it would be the first time I hear of such a thing Sometimes health departments might require practitioners to keep track of client identities for tracking purposes, but to require actual ID sounds like overreach/ overreaction by someone who, got inspected and is now covering their butts.
I’m not willing to provide my legal name.
I guess I could try the other electrologists in this state before giving up. I’m shooting in the dark here with this post in case there’s info that I missed while researching this.
