Transgender surgeries postponed indefinitely amid pandemic
NBC News ^ | March 25, 2020 | Serena Daniari

For as long as he can remember, Jaceon Cornado has dreamed of having a flat chest.

When he turned 18 in the spring of 2017, the transgender teen eagerly started planning his surgical transition. "This surgery is something I need to continue to get up in the mornings every day," Cornado told NBC News. Just six months after his 18th birthday — and a year after the Obama administration lifted the transgender military ban (which would later be reversed by the Trump administration) — Cornado joined the U.S. Army in a combat role. He decided to surgically transition while in the military, because doing so beforehand would have delayed his enlistment by at least 18 months. Two weeks after arriving at his base in San Antonio, he informed his superiors of his plan.

Pelosi hasn’t declared it an emergency? After all, you just can’t have too much pork!

For as long as I can remember, I never dreamed of messing with those appendages down below, or changing anything up front, top. I never had any desire to wear lipstick or a dress.

I am what I am.

So my heart doesn’t go out to this male/female. I don’t feel any pity for the individual who wants to slice her milk organs off.

It’s insane out there, and getting insaner.

"Are we talking about a Boy or a Girl here?"

A valuable lesson I was taught by a Freeper...if you substitute the word "fake" for "transgender" in the gender description...it all becomes clear. Such as..

"Katalina Murrie, a 31-year-old transgender "fake" woman..."

This doesn't always work. In this article, they never referred to the Coronado person as transgender man or woman, so Rule #1 above doesn't work.

Rule#2 would be... (This is especially true if the publication is a well known liberal rag.) What ever gender reference the writer uses thru-out the article, assume the opposite. For example, if the author uses the term man, assume it was a woman originally. If the author uses "he", assume it was born a "she".

Pity it’s not “forever amid sanity” on the part of legislatures.

Is this what protesting trannies are thinking?

“Sure, I might catch a fatal case of the virus in the hospital, but at least my pecker will finally be gone!”

C’mon “man,” and I use the term very loosely.

That’s the rule that works best for me when interpreting articles about trannies. If a particular gender pronoun is overused to the point of ridiculousness then you know the subject is actually the other. In this case the article uses “he” about four times more than is appropriate which means the subject is really a female and the author is trying to virtue signal.

She joined the military to get US to pay for her surgery.

We should not be subsidizing delusions.

I thought transgenders were still not allowed to enlist.

Hospitals are canceling all elective surgeries at this point in time. Just suck it up like we all have to do! Oops maybe that's the wrong way to phrase it.
