9. For trans services especially

...even the older general system was problematic, because some parts of the country would alert police. For a queer or trans person in crisis, that could make things worse. People may still think calling 911 from a cell phone doesn't reveal location, but it does.

With trumpist-controlled services, it is easy to imagine a trans teen who calls a number they think will help keep them safe, only to have investigations start about their parents and doctors.
