Vice ^ | March 19, 2020 | Kaye Loggins

For transgender and gender non-conforming people, gender-affirming surgeries are life-altering procedures, which, for many, can greatly reduce gender dysphoria and improve their quality of life. But in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, trans communities on Reddit and Twitter are being flooded with reports of postponed and canceled surgeries in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Thailand, and elsewhere, leading to enormous stress and disappointment on top of a global health crisis.

Why aren't they inflicting stomach stapling on anorexic teenagers? Same rational, same diagnosis, same results.

The purpose is to provide money for the surgical teams and to kill the victim, with the blessing of the criminally Stupid Left.

Then there is this:

Coronavirus response: Hospitals must cancel colonoscopies, knee replacements; abortions can continue as scheduled

https://www.masslive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/coronavirus-response-hospitals-must-cancel-colonoscopies-knee-replacements-abortions-can-continue-as-scheduled.html

The memo sent by Elizabeth Kelley, director of the state’s (Massachusetts) Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality, states, “Terminating a pregnancy is not considered a nonessential, elective invasive procedure for the purpose of this guidance.

Then why do over fifty percent go on to kill themselves?

I recommend self-surgery. Razor blades are still available on Amazon.

Don’t worry— after this war is over (and it’s already underway), transvestites will again be prohibited by law from spreading their sinful poison.

It looks like Vice doesn’t allow comments on its articles. When you peddle crap, you don’t to give people an opportunity to raise a stink about it

“trans have very high suicide rates,
so wont this SAVE their lives, too???”

First they’ll suicide because they CAN’T have the surgery to confirm their narcissistic mental condition.

Later they’ll suicide because they DID have the surgery that confirmed their underlying narcissistic mental condition but didn’t solve any of their problems and only created more problems.

Perfect catch 22 situation.

Maybe they can get #SussexRoyal to set up a special clinic for them and pay for it, since they are so caring and so “woke.”

All cosmetic surgery should be delayed. It is NEVER “life-saving.”
