A GOP Senator Just Compared Trans Health Care to ‘Genital Mutilation’ --------
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul used the Senate confirmation hearing for Dr. Rachel Levine to falsely compare gender-affirming treatment for kids to genital mutilation.
She’s set to be the highest-profile trans government official in U.S. history. So Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul used Thursday’s Senate confirmation hearing for Dr. Rachel Levine to falsely compare gender-affirming health care to genital mutilation.
“Most genital mutilation is not typically performed by force but, as WHO notes, that by social convention, social norm, the social pressure to conform, to do what others do and have been doing as well as the need to be accepted socially and the fear of being rejected by the community,” Paul told Levine, a Pennsylvania pediatrician and health official who’s nominated to become President Joe Biden’s assistant health secretary.

IMO...
If there is nothing medically wrong with the genitalia, then operating on it and/or removing it due to social pressure and peer pressure is as wrongful as cutting off a child's ear so s/he can look like a pirate. Totally senseless and in fact, should be illegal.
@earl-of-trumps saidWell we all know rand is an utter scumbag so no surprises there.

Are you claiming that there is more social pressure on non trans to become trans than there is on trans to remain in their cis identity.
To compare trans surgery to genital mutilation like circumcision is your sickest joke yet.
@phil-a-dork saidYes its all very well when an adult decides to transition but when a pre-pubescent child with feelings of gender dysphoria is given a course of pubescent blockers and cross sex hormones that cause irreversible change before that child is aware of what they are giving up, that transgender reassignment becomes totally problematic.
@Duchess64
The original post was about children getting it done which is wrong.
@earl-of-trumps saidDo you and Rand feel the same way about male circumcision under the age of consent / majority?

The post that was quoted here has been removedHey, Duchess... I knew you would jump on this one. I agree, I dont give a durn what a person does to themselves, maybe shave their head, remove a toe, whatever. Duchess, one request. That person should keep everyone else, like me, out of it. You are RIGHT! None of my business. And god help me if I have to pay for it with my taxes.
Now if you and Suzianne are about to run the 100, and a creature shows up that is not 'another girl', but a revised human such as suggested in this post, ( I am taking this post one more degree to a man that has turned into a woman, I still dont know what they are called)......Duchess,, can you weigh in on the outcome of the discussion that will ensue???? Please? Pretty please?
