I can’t tell you what a gift reading this was for me. I cried reading about your faith in nurses as I sit sipping my tea post meditation getting ready for my night shift in a medical ICU. This past Saturday, between shifts, I seriously contemplated handing in my resignation, though it would be financially irresponsible. How much PTO do I have? Can that get me through a bit? It’s not because I don’t love being a nurse. It is because the system is beyond repair and more barbaric than most imagine. I can give loving, competent care to the best of my ability in a system that definitely does not care about humans, but I’m still a part of it. And it’s pure rot.
I AM a surgeon...of dogs and cats, but still....surgery is ALWAYS painful and not infrequently there are complications...anywhere from minor to major. It should never be taken lightly.
Add to this the inherent risks of anesthesia(controlled poisoning)--like DEATH or brain damage and the whole thing is even more stupid.
It is nothing more than cosmetic surgery.
It's a reverse boob job and the reasons are just as dumb, but they found a bunch of either misguided or ghoulish, greedy psychiatric doctors to justify what is nothing more than cosmetic surgery.
Transmania is the frontal lobotomy of our time. There will be a great deal of wreckage, but the Judith Butlers who lead from the pulpit and their armies of caring and compassionate Dr Frankensteins will most likely escape unscathed.
There has just been too much elite buy-in, too many important people pushing this,
Child abuse sponsored by Government and big business. These kids will have a higher rate of suicide after they're affirmed. So sad, immoral, and criminal.
My shoulder was acting up, doctor said had no idea why, only treatment he knew was surgery. Yeah, no. It’s fine now. Just took awhile and some massage. God help me if I went for surgery.
Thank goodness its not available under 16 in the UK, its a growing issue here too and largely among autistic girls. Struggling to cope with their changing bodies and the prevailing deeply sexualised attitudes towards girls and women, they see it as a means of escaping a body they dislike feel unprepared for. It's not so much that they want to become boys, as non-sexual beings. Just awful, because what they need is not surgery but time, patience and understanding.
Has anyone seen the photos of the forearms of girls who have undergone surgery to remove ‘tissue’ for use in fashioning what is supposed to be ‘esthetically’ a penis, albeit a non-functioning one? There must be a special place in hell for the ghoulish narcissists getting rich off the misery of others.
Holy fk'n shit... I only took a glimpse at the 1st page of Go Fund Me's Top Surgery Campaigns ... I have no words to adequately express my sorrow for the tragedy that awaits these young misguided souls.
my daughter has a friend, who was a lovely young lady. In university, she came out as "bi". Later she changed her name to a boy's and her pronouns to they/them and went on testosterone. Sometime in the past year she had a double mastectomy. Absolutely beyond sad. This young lady (IMHO) likely has a personality disorder (too long a story) and probably should have had mental health counselling/treatment prior to permanently mutilating her body. How must all the women who have had to have mastectomies due to cancer feel about this? The world is indeed insane.
When I was 31, I had brain surgery for a tumor, luckily benign, but that began a road with a lot of potholes and bumps. I'm fine, but I spent many years looking at people my age and wondering if they understood how very lucky they were to have a body that functioned normally, a body where everything worked as it should.
As I read this article, I think of the many reasons I have to be angry about this new trend of trying to cosmetically change men to women and vice versa, I have one more. As a person who experienced her body betraying her at a young age to the point of death if I hadn't had the tumor out, to see people *encouraging* these young ones to take a body that functions well and normally and hack it to pieces and fill it full of hormones so it can *look* different . . .
What honestly is the matter with us? At one point we taught people to take pride in their bodies. Now we're encouraging them to sicken themselves and eliminate valuable systems just to look different, which is all that will ever be accomplished.
On a side note, years ago I knew a younger woman (30s) with diabetes that would routinely go in and have surgery to remove spurs on her feet, a side effect of her other health issues. The last time she did this, she had a reaction to the anesthetic, and she died, leaving a thirteen year old son (she was a single mother). Even when you need surgery and it is considered minor, it can end very badly.
Great observation about RN's and healthcare staff generally. My mother was an RN, starting out running one of the Marine Corps amputee wards at Muir Island in '44-'45. Later she worked at Driscoll Childrens' in Corpus Christi. She always did everything possible to ameliorate the pain and suffering of both the patients and their families. It was tough for her, in particular for the ones she couldn't do much for. My guess is that she'd be shocked to see how many children and young adults butchering themselves now, for no more than cosmetic changes at most, and suffering as they do, and will do, the rest of their lives.
Thanks for recognizing these angels who do so much for so many.

There has just been too much elite buy-in, too many important people pushing this,
for it not to be swept under the rug.
So-called "gender-affirming" surgery is an abomination. What ever happened to "do no harm"?
Child abuse sponsored by Government and big business. These kids will have a higher rate of suicide after they're affirmed. So sad, immoral, and criminal.
Meanwhile, the horror stories of those who decided to detransition are being suppressed...
People are looking for the easy,, feel good-way out of their anxieties.
Fentanyl for despair of homelessness
The Vax for the fear of COVID. (and now the rational for taking if for fear of complications and blame)
Embracing Biden for the fear of a Trump Presidency
Woke for fear of realizing their ineptitude in most anything.
The initial debt can and could have been addressed, but the interest will be fatal. And drowning people take many with them.

What kind of doctor would voluntarily perform these operations?

Trans thing is just crazy to old folks like me. The poor girls. They have no idea what men even are, they just don’t want to be women.
