One of Donald Trump's campaign promises was to combat the erroneous assertion that a person's sex could be changed. Now that he is President, Trump has issued an executive order "designed to protect children from being seduced by this delusion. Across the country, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation's history, and it must end."
"Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures," Trump proclaimed. "Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) shall publish a review of the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria and use all available methods to increase the quality of data to guide practices for improving the health of minors with gender dysphoria. The Secretary of HHS shall, consistent with applicable law, take all appropriate actions to end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children."
In a move designed to encourage more of these futile mutilations, Pennsylvania Democrat State Representatives Benjamin Sanchez and Joe Webster are proposing legislation that "would remove sex from birth certificates. This will eliminate the need to amend the document when the individual decides that he or she is now the opposite of the sex that was assigned at birth. The tyranny of DNA will be neutralized and individual choice will be maximized."
World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) President Asa Radix, MD, PhD, MPH said "Trump's interference in this issue is a display of pure ignorance and contradicts best medical practice. If he had consulted experts in transgender hormones and surgeries he would have been informed that the earlier the transition occurs, the better the outcome."
"First, the hormones needed for the transition can increase the risk of blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and cancer. These risks are minimal at younger ages, but are elevated as the patient grows older," Radix pointed out. "Second, the longer we hesitate, the more grotesque the appearance of the transformed patient. A notable example of this phenomenon is Admiral Rachel Levine. While we all admire her courage in making the change, we shouldn't make patients to have to wait and risk a similar tragedy."
In related news, some employees of Meta strongly objected to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to discontinue the policy of providing tampons in men's restrooms. A few have started a guerrilla campaign to personally purchase tampons and put them in the company's men's rooms. One, speaking anonymously said "we want to do what's right without retaliation, but with Zuckerberg morphing from the progressive stalwart who spent $50 million of his own money to help Biden beat Trump in the 2020 election into Trump's biggest admirer we have to keep the campaign covert."
There are some sick, evil people in this country.
So what will they do with the tampons?
Where will they insert them?
