We are no seeing the same kind of public lunacy that was experienced in China during the cultural revolution.
Doctor: “You have testicular cancer so, we are going to remove your uterus”.
You can avoid reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
LOL!
Or what about yeast infections which some women get? Sorry, mister, you are now a man, you don’t get yeast infections in your vagina because you are a man.
So they have to take a Pap smear from a guy?
Obamacare enforcing the modern day equivalent of the Tuskegee Institute experiments.
Really, what is the purpose of all this shoving transgender down people’s throats? It seems to be issue number one in this country and there has to be something behind it. Anyone have an idea of what the motivation really is?
So.... a woman complains of issues, but claims to be a man. The doctor cannot treat the woman’s issues that the woman has? Talk about going full retard!
Ayn Rand?
Bruce Jenner wants a Hysterectomy?
