Biden targets conversion therapy, transgender bans in Pride Month order (this is getting alarming)

WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order aimed at curbing discrimination against transgender youth and drying up federal funding for the controversial practice of "conversion therapy."

Biden's executive order asks the federal health and education departments to expand access to gender-affirming medical care and find new ways to counter a flurry of bills passed in U.S. states by conservative lawmakers this year that ban these treatments for transgender youth.

I learned of this from listening to Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro yesterday. I’m stunned this is being ordered as I didn’t think even he was this radical. Conversion therapy or the method of counseling young people who want to mutilate their bodies will be banned,

Shapiro went into detail over a young “woman” who went through the change and deeply regrets it. She described how her life is hell now: has a stump of a penis left which dribbles urine for hours each time she urinates, has no sexual sensation , has other health problems etc. Point is she deeply regrets her decision and says she made it when she was young and confused.

Now with this bill counselors will be banned from offering advice and encouragement to prevent these awful mutilations. I’m starting to think Biden is not just incompetent but evil. How else can the practice of a healthy 15 year old girl cutting her breast entirely off or a boy castrating himself be defined—yet he is defending it.

PS Here is the White House fact sheet on this atrocity. Among others things it says there is NO (as in zero) evidence conversion therapy helps, that it increases suicide rates that it is “discredited”. All claims I disbelieve.

Joe isn't a radical.

He's just too stupid and too shallow to give a shiite about selling out to radicals for money and political influence.

Joe's not a radical...he just has no moral convictions.

Can we convert BiXiden into something of value?

I wonder, did this same sort of thing happen in Noahs time? Food for thought.

I watch Pluto TV on Roku a fair amount. They don't have a huge number of sponsors and run their ads in repetition a lot.

I am sick to death of the ad for "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" It runs a hundred times per day and I automatically switch channels when it runs. I don't recognize my country anymore.

I could have worded my last comment more succinctly:

Joe's not a radical...Joe's a whore.

At least he has a pulse on what Americans are truly interested in. They don’t care about gas prices, food inflation or food and formula shortages. /s

If we needed proof that Obama was running the presidency, this would seem to be it.

Strange, I’ve got cable with over a 100 channels and I don’t think I’ve seen it once. I wonder who runs the marketing department of Roku?

That’s what Walsh/Shapiro suggested.

That is his policies have failed so miserably he is basically giving up on them and going to double down on culture issues and try and please the far left base.

Changing sexual orientation is a one way street for the evil perverts.

Only going from straight to homosexual or transgender is allowed.

I’ve lately noticed 3 or 4 commercials about transgender youth in conjunction with mental health and acceptance. Weird.

I just read an article blaming the U.S. for all the deaths from Red China’s Kung Flu because the U.S. taxpayers wouldn’t foot the medical bills for every freeloader on the planet. I guess if we weren’t wasting all that money on adadictomies and other such sexual disorientation nonsense for prisoners, kindergarteners and illegal aliens we would have had the money to keep people from getting the Kung Flu.

So he bans conversion therapy in the name of fairness but uses tax payer funded schools to convert Christians to gay?

I believe Jesus is about to solve all of this pretty soon.

Specifically, it’s the Pluto TV channel (Viacom). The other paid channels wouldn’t run it. But the ‘free’ ones do. Freevee being another and that’s Amazon.

"drying up federal funding for the controversial practice of "conversion therapy"

It's noteworthy that in Liberal La-La Land conversion therapy is 'controversial', but 'gender reassignment surgery' is mainstream. It's OK to chop off kid's genitalia, but 'controversial' to tell them the truth.

Don't trust any media (forever) that tells you that.

I know I can’t hardly get my mind around it.
Similar to the woke left claiming men can get pregnant.
