Both of the Above ...er, Below

This week my old newspaper The National Post is full of columns about "the death of the Canadian dream", if not the murder of said Canadian dream.

Oh, I don't know. Say what you will about Canada, but it's the first country in the world to decree that its citizenry are entitled to both a penis and a vagina - and taxpayer-funded at that: An Ontario resident has successfully secured public funding for a specialized gender-affirming surgery argued to be "experimental" by the provincial health insurer following a years-long legal battle. The … … to the review board following an initial denial by OHIP to cover the surgery. On April 10, a final appeal launched by OHIP was dismissed by the Divisional Court of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

You can read the full Superior Court decision by Madam Justice Breese Davies here:

Dr. Krakowsky testified that vaginoplasties without penectomy is considered experimental in Ontario because there is no peer-reviewed literature on when would be appropriate and no long-term data on the psychological or physical outcomes of such procedures. OHIP argues it would be absurd to conclude that the Legislature intended to include an experimental procedure in the list of insured services.

I do not agree with OHIP's position.

So, if you're one of many Canadians, of whatever "gender", waiting months for a specialist to attend to your prostate, it might be quicker just to get a "vaginal cavity" punched in the middle of your perineum and see whether that does the trick.

“penectomy”

Nice word. Rush called it a “chopoffadictomy”.

And the other way around an “addadictomy”.

WE still have some admirable regional enclaves, and worthy subgroups.

But overall, Canada is becoming a country with absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Next: a constitutional right to have a tail (for our furry-identifying friends).

He'll have to ... because neither Man nor Woman nor Faggot will want intimacy with him.

On the very same day as the Ontario court decision, an official report in the UK found that there was no "good evidence" supporting the benefits of "gender-transitioning" for those under twenty-five.

How about "politically correct fantasies"? Aren't those even more valid than "good evidence"?
