This editor doesn’t intend to do a post on transgender issues every Saturday, but somehow always ends up doing one. For a “marginalized” community with no power, transgender activists have nonetheless compelled the dictionary to change its definition of “woman.”
Is there any place worse than Arkansas? A trans doctor testified before the state senate there and was appalled and utterly mortified over her treatment by the legislature. She told her story to The Independent:
I’m a trans doctor. What happened to me in front of the Arkansas senate was appalling https://t.co/eDAPIws6jj

Gwendolyn Herzig writes about her testimony against SB199, also known as Concerning Medical Malpractice and Gender Transition in Minors; and to Create the Protecting Minors from Medical Malpractice Act of 2023. So it concerns minors specifically.
This legislation, like so many other bills nationwide, targets and limits access to care for the transgender community and further stigmatizes an already marginalized population. The crusade to vilify those who just want to live life as their authentic self is baffling. Almost as much as the rationale, or lack thereof, behind the movement working to limit or halt care.
…
Senator McKee from Garland County was trying to corner me into answering his question and stated that there is a ”large body of medical evidence of harm that has come upon people who have gone through these processes”, which he neglected to cite and I obviously don’t agree with. I responded: “I am familiar with the large body of evidence showing that providing good affirming care saves lives.” We went back and forth three times with him getting increasingly agitated with me each time.
He then asked if I was a trans woman, to which I replied back that I am a trans female. Then the most insulting, dehumanizing, egregious question was asked of me: “Do you have a penis?”
Damn, we have women walking around the Capitol dressed as vaginas … why so sensitive?
Trans doctor. So, a person pretending to be a doctor?

You don't want to live as your "authentic self," you want to live as something you never were or will be, and force everyone else to conform to your view of yourself or be branded as a bigot.

By not answering the question the world knows the answer.

You were scared of the question because you knew if you answered it you would sound ridiculous.

There is Nothing appalling about asking a simple question that you invited by informing others of your pretense.
— Stuart W. McDaniel (@stuart_mcdaniel) February 18, 2023
no, it was a pretty simple question. Putting yourself in that situation was your own doing.

Accurate would be a better word. If you still have your junk, you are not qualified to speak on the subject because you are not 100% invested in what you are saying.

That’s not a bad point. This person is advocating for “gender-affirming” surgeries on minors. Is she personally familiar with it?
I'm sorry this is happening to you. Don't forget your annual prostate exam though. pic.twitter.com/WGAoEDGu7X

If you’re offended by the question “Do you have a penis”, perhaps it is not the question itself, but the cognitive dissonance brought on by the answer that makes you uncomfortable. 🤔

“Gender affirming care” is mutilation. If adults want mutilation, that’s on them.
Mutilate a child, go to jail.

Even The Atlantic of all places recently ran a piece on how detransitioners ought to be taken more seriously, as not everyone gets past the honeymoon period of surgery and lives without regret.

The Senator should have said, “You’re a PhD, not an MD.” That would have shut off that “I’m a doctor” lie quick.
her treatment
Her who ?
He her how ?
Who he trying to fool ?
Maybe. But he didn’t answer it.
If he had and said that he still had one, his whole argument is gone
That I don’t know.
I see nothing wrong with legislation that limits or forbids taxpayer funding of medical care for those who willingly ‘modify’ themselves. Those expenses should be paid by the individual involved. Their choice - their responsibility.
Correct “Mentally Ill” Why do we kowtow to insane people? Maybe if they were laughed at more they would straighten out.
I think it’s funny that someone who has gone thru college to get a pharmaceutical degree would suddenly get the vapors at a question about basic biology.
“As Brett T wrote, this person is advocating for “gender-affirming” surgeries on minors. Is “she” personally familiar with it?”
The ONLY appropriate “gender affirming care” is that which affirms their genetically verified gender. Anything else is reinforcing a DELUSION.
Crazy person upset others do not support him in his crazy.
He is dying his hair brown?

Wonder if he did thru out the body?
“If you’re offended by the question “Do you have a penis”, perhaps it is not the question itself, but the cognitive dissonance brought on by the answer that makes you uncomfortable”
When your opponent is “offended” by a question, it’s because they do not have an answer that supports their position. Repeat the question and follow up.
We used to call them transvestites.
There was a drag parade every Saturday night in downtown Corpus Christi. In the street. We were working there and would go out about 8:00 to see the pervert parade, complete with feathers and fancy dresses.
We need to reopen asylums for the insane.
It’s a fetish camouflaged as an identity
thank you
that was hilarious
I am not sure if this is what you meant, but female hormones are known to increase the risk of prostate cancer.
And yet no one on the other side ever mentions the extreme long-term Health damage from these hormonal treatments. The doctors that hand these drugs out should be cast out of the medical profession. And some of them ought to go to jail.
More of us need to stand up to this insanity, otherwise, there will be no end to it.
