The Washington Post, sanewashing the madness:

"Democrats said the move amounted to a Republican campaign to target, scapegoat and vilify families struggling with gender dysphoria — a medical diagnosis for those whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth."

Good Lord, EVERY SINGLE COMMENT that comes out of their mouth sounds like it came from a hysterical schoolmarm having a panic attack.

There's a clue there, of course.

Expand full comment

a fake "disease" for fake "people" living in a fake "time." can we stop using fake "phrases?" sex is not "assigned" at birth; it is simply observed and noted. it was assigned and written in stone the second the sperm hit the egg. it cannot be changed. it can be dressed up, costumed, disguised. working parts can be cut off; non-working parts can be "fashioned" out of formerly working parts. drugs can be taken to suppress this and amplify that. but sex itself cannot be changed.

A medical diagnosis that is extremely controversial, and until recently, was classified as a mental disorder in the DSM (and still would be if not for the frenetic political lobbying of the trans activists).

That´s why I quit the NAVY forty years ago. I couldn´t stand the choice my future children would have to face; suicide for being denied gender affirming care, and slow agonizing death by climate change.

There is no such thing as Trans, as you can't change your biological sex.

Anyone who says you can is mentally ill and shouldn't be serving in the military.

Anyone who mutilates a child and sterilizes him or her should be arrested and thrown into a deep body of water with a massive stone around their neck.

Anyone who advocates for this kind of child abuse is a pedophile and needs to be dealt with appropriately.

This is why we need to do away with the NDAA and go back to line-item budgets.

"There is no such thing as Trans...."

Well, there is such thing as "trans-", but they're using the wrong root. There is no such thing as a Trans-sexual.

The deranged attention seekers are Transvestites.

A perfectly good word, that perfectly describes these poor, wretched perverts.

They are men dressing as women, or women dressing as men. Transvestites.

The fact that transvestites now want to surgically mutilate their genitals doesn't change them being transvestites. A man dressed as a woman, with or without testicles, is still a transvestite.

Here's a perfect example of this brand of pervert: A dude who began wearing his wife's clothes after she died. A retired teacher/principal/coach, it didn't even take the trouble changing its name. It ran for, and was elected to the school board:

I'll take a shot. At answering your question. When does this end? I think it ends when the citizens of the United States finally say enough of this crazy bullshit. The laws aren't Preventing it . children are still being mutilated. Maybe the people doing And supporting the mutilation need to have the fear of God installed in them and know that every time they do this, there is a very realistic possibility. That some form of vigilante justice will be visited upon them with extreme prejudiced. Not saying it's the right way.Certainly not Advocating for it. But if history is any indication that's usually how crazy shit ends. And god knows this is some crazy shit that needs to end like yesterday.

Sanity has to aggressively prevail or there’s going to be a lot of furious young adults taking matters into their own hands, and deciding to get revenge on the old people who didn’t protect them. Listening to the stories from these detransitioners is heartbreaking.

It ends when de-transitioned persons win giant damage awards against the ghouls who sliced and diced them. In the meantime as more and more people become fully aware of how fucking crazy it is for boys to have their balls cut off and girls to have their budding breasts sliced off perhaps Dave Chappell style ridicule will slow the trans fascists down. Let’s remember that twenty years ago and for the rest of human history, today’s trans cult was NOWHERE to be found.

It really shows the power of evil to warp a soul. There's not even the element of political calculation in this; the Democrats know trans advocacy is wildly unpopular, especially regarding children. They'd really rather lose elections than surrender on this point.

It’s part of their sick religion. Along with normalizing pedophelia. (funny how my reliable spellcheck won’t work on that ‘p’ word). These sickos pretend to care so much about the kids that they have helped brainwash into thinking they’re ‘trans’. But have no curiosity about the 350,000 missing kids brought illegally to America.

My time around the environs of Capitol Hill, cir. 2000-04, was all I needed to see. My only conclusion was that the country was being run by the staffers, who are mostly college undergrads - daughters of the friends of the Sen/Congressman (not always, but there's a ton of that). That was all I needed to make me understand how it dysfunctions.

Expand full comment

But the key to the dysfunction and corruption has been the unrelenting increase in the cost of campaigns. The day after the election, the candidate starts raising money for the next. It’s like a car that gets 5 mpg – after filling up, you start looking for the next gas station.

The idea that Dem donors gave $1B in dark money that was “completely uncoordinated” with the Harris campaign is a sick joke.

I don’t know how to coordinate campaign finance with the 1A, but we must if we want donors to have less sway.

Expand full comment

Make it law that you must donate equal sums to any candidate?

Tax total donations above X no. $ as income, or whichever tax-class is highest?

Only allow donations given at least five years before the candidate announce they are running?

Not saying these are good or feasible, just throwing some ideas out there.

Expand full comment

All ideas appreciated! Unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled that money (spent on political ads and contributions) is “speech” and can’t be limited under the 1st Amendment. There are some technical rules, but that’s the gist.

The only solution I can see that fits under the SCOTUS ruling is 100% disclosure of every $ spent on contributions and political advertising on EVERY medium. Make noncompliance a felony with jail time required.

If Democrats want to take money from “Liberals for 100% Abortion,” let’s make them famous for it. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Expand full comment

Sounds good to me; big fan of total disclosure, 'Starship Troopers'-movie style.

We've had a tug-of-war-debate going about campaign/party funding since the 1960s at least.

The Reds wants to make it law that anonymous donations to parties should instead be public, to try to "name and shame" donors to their opponents.

The NeoLibs wants to make it illegal for the National Union to donate to the Socialist Democrat party, since it and the NU are like Siamese twins.

The Moderates wants to make donations 100% tax deductible above a certain amount for private individuals donating.

The Sweden Democrats wants to ban tax funding of parties.

The Communists wants to make tax funding equal for all no matter the party's size.

And most people don't know all parties are raking it in by using the party subsidies (tax money) to invest in private companies, foundations, trust funds, all the dodges, to turn the party into a profit-making operation, at least for the upper echelons.

Bilateral mastectomies at age 17 gives me nightmares. These plastic surgeons are grotesque. If there were no surgeons who would do this , it would all go away . Follow the money 💰.

Expand full comment

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) just came out with an official statement that they do not support these surgeries and do not agree with this treatment course for gender dysphoria. That’s big and thank God. The ASPS membership is the gold standard you look for as part of evaluating a plastic surgeon.

Expand full comment

Most state medical boards look to the “medical societies” to set standards of care, rather than inventing all the wheels themselves, Let’s hope ASPS is accorded that role, and that it’s regarded as superior to the Mengele-esque WPATH.

Expand full comment

Consistent with your abhorrence, surgeries on sexual organs should be equated to surgeries on arms & legs. There’s no circumstance under which a patient’s opinion that he’d “prefer” a different appendage would be taken as justification for surgery, and a doctor who acted on it would be criminally charged and his medical license revoked.

For a moment, reading the story and comments I thought, it’s the docs! They have to get together in a block and SPEAK THE TRUTH. Like Dr. Laidlaw! (Don’t shout, Val.) But then he even allows some of his endocrinologist colleagues support the use of the drugs! UNAPPROVED FOR THESE USES! (There she goes again.) God bless him for standing up. And no wonder the folks on Pritzker’s payroll roll over. And no wonder they’re scared to death of RFKJr.

Would be great if they formed a power club to speak as one but, as with most things, only about one in four million in any category you can think of has the guts to tell the truth.

"If you don’t let me shove this pot roast up your ass, you’re being weird."

For my entire military career, we had a rather weird obsession with our asses and what it up them.

One of the most common refrains to a question was something to the effect of:

"If it was up your ass kicking footballs you'd know...

"If it was up your ass baking cookies you'd know...

I first heard, "If it was up your ass you'd know" as a young private and thought--well, uh, ok--but why would it be up my ass, and how does this help with me knowing anything?

But, Joe being Joe, the idiom had to grow to whatever decided to go up one's ass--well, now it had to bake cookies, kick footballs, swim the backstroke, deal cards, running windsprints...and on and on and on.

My suspicion is any of the 10s to 15,000 trans Soldiers--not a single one of them participated in an 'up your ass' verbal spar. These folks do not fit into a platoon--they are weirdos. We don't want them in our formations. Never did. They are distractions. Combat dividers, not multipliers.

there simply ARE NOT 15,000 transgender people in the military. as i said in a comment to another of Chris's stacks on this subject, sissy boys DO NOT naturally gravitate to the military. in their habits and preoccupations, they are much more like women and, excluding sex, enjoy the things that women like- interior design, sewing, hair styling, acting, etc. they probably engage in fantasies of military service- all those men! in uniform!! a wet dream come true!

No funding for minor children, period. The puberty blockers alone can do permanent, irreversible damage. And, prove to me there are 15,000 transgender military personnel. The Left routinely finds a study that cites a figure, and repeats that figure until that figure is accepted as truth.

Expand full comment

Yes, the 15K figure was the most shocking part of the post. How is that possible?

I simply don't believe it. I looked into the source, and it was an old estimate from the UCLA Law School's Williams Institute (2014), an advocacy group. A subsequent RAND study, commissioned by the Pentagon, estimated it as much lower.

Apparently, people on Humira can't serve, but people on cross-hormone drugs can. This insanity can't end soon enough.

Thanks for looking this up. I was sure it was an estimate by an "advocacy " group. I don't care what an adult does to their own body (as long as I don't have to pay for it), but children ... To quote Pink Floyd "Leave our kids alone".

Remember back when we were horrified by the custom of genital mutilation of little girls in some cultures. It was to keep them from becoming lascivious. The entire liberal/left community was outraged. But now, even more extreme genital mutilation is A-OK with them as long as it’s called ‘gender-affirming-care’. Of course, it is not gender affirming, it is gender denying. And, it renders the subject a cash cow medical casualty for life. Which, of course, is the point. This misnamed Gender-Affirming-Care is child psychological and sexual abuse, pure and simple.

Expand full comment

"Gender-Affirming Care" is the Madison Avenue advertising and marketing campaign of "Sterilization of Imbeciles" Buck v. Bell eugenics standing SCOTUS decision. That decision was later tempered by Skinner v. Oklahoma to attach consent to the sterilization of imbeciles by the state. Enter Madison Avenue Madmen, pros at selling anything. Including selling the idea that eugenics sterilizations of the mentally ill (imbeciles) suffering from Gender Dysphoria (mental illness) is a civil right. It's eugenics, repackaged and sold just like cosmetics and fashion.

Many years ago (when I was a young lad), there was a cigarette brand called "Old Gold". They came out with a TV ad campaign (yes...long ago there were cigarette ads on TV) promoting their "Spin Filter". Said the pitchman, who was relaxing on his couch, shirt collar undone after a stressful day at the office, explaining just how this revolutionary filter had improved his smoking life, "It's not like other filters---it works a different way: It 'SPINS' the smoke---spins more flavor through". My father (who didn't smoke) reacted viscerally to the "stupidity' of the ad, which shocked me. As a wet-behind-the-ears , know-nothing kid, the ad sounded perfectly fine to me, so I asked him what he meant. "S-P-I-N-S the smoke---SO...WHAT?!", he bellowed. Today, at age 75, I trace my skepticism of advertising AND GOVERNMENT to that moment: Marxists have turned this technique into an art form.
