He graduated early to get gender-affirming surgery before college. Then his hospital cut him off.

When males experience hot flashes, it sounds more like they are actually females.

Well actually they do. It’s just called plastic surgery rather than gender affirming care

Excellent post, and your observation about giving the Left “free reign” is a significantly important one.

I have always found it curious (it would be amusing if it were not deadly serious) that liberals seem to think that Orwell’s “1984’ is what the world of conservatives would be like if conservatives had their way.

The reality is, liberals are the ones who attempt to shape and control the meaning and use of words and symbols in an effort to shape and control thought.

They constantly appropriate symbols and words to use to their own ends.

And they leverage it for all it is worth.

They shape and change the meaning of words (especially with respect to sex and race) so that at any given time, as a tool to keep their opponents (who will not be privy to the constant shifting of words, or meaning) and can constantly castigate them as racists or sexists for using the “insensitive”, “outdated”, or “incorrect” term at any given point in time.

And we have played along with them for a long, long time.

I take from it that a normal female who has their estrogen levels suppressed by injections of testosterone can experience hot flashes when the testosterone is stopped.

They mention it as a given in the “article”.

“But his childhood pediatrician was dismissive, telling a long story about a woman who once identified as a lesbian and later married a man — suggesting his gender dysphoria was just a phase. “Just hang in there and don’t do anything,” Nicole said, paraphrasing the doctor’s advice.”

Everything is a choice to leftists, except conversion to Islam and being gay. Under neither circumstance is reversal ever permitted by leftists.

it’s interesting how all of these medical “professionals” who glorify the wonders of gender mutilation never do it for free out of the goodness of their hearts ...

The kid will look back in 10 years and realize that this is the best thing that ever happened.

Studies show very few transsexuals are happy having had surgery, et al, and most regret their decisions.

--- "I’m sorry your mother and father fell for this and helped you further wreck your life"

A simple word search of the article finds neither "father" of the teen, nor "husband" of the mother.

But, as one finds an older Form 990 on the webpage, take a look at the salaries for this non-profit "news" -- but really activist -- entity.

I am wondering if she already had a hysterectomy.

But it’s not a ‘right and certainly not paid for by the government.

These people need to find their own follies.

Who cut him off?

The relevant question is what was cut off?

I looked at some of the other “articles” on this website, and it is clearly a Leftist advocacy site for queer issues.

Can I use the word “queer” now, or is that only reserved for “queers” or people who identify as “queer”?

It gets so confusing.

Exactly. Which is why this exchange is so telling, both in content and the ‘dog whistling’ (the real reason they’re so mad at Jennings’ statement)...

LOL, for some reason, I am reminded of that old Saturday Night Live sketch with Garrett Morris:

It's not confusing. Those "protests" with queers yelling, "We're here, we're queer" inform my view. Queers, by their own blather.

Which brings to mind a pun on a biblical verse, employing a different word still in use today, "By their fruits you will know them."

As much as I detest Leftists, I do find it fascinating to watch their unapologetic pretzel logic in matters such as these…

They have no self awareness or shame, but we knew that already.

As it turns out, every line on that sign is a lie. Liberals do not believe these things, they just want you to think they do.

They don't really believe black lives matter, otherwise they would be putting a great deal of efforts into stopping the violent crime in our major cities:

They don't believe women's rights are human rights, other wise they would not support a policy that ends the lives of potential women before they are even born;

They don't believe that no human is illegal, otherwise they would open their homes to illegal aliens instead of using taxpayer money and funds to support their trespassing into the US:

Science is real? They don't believe biology is not real, but they claim climate science is. But they don't want you to know the truth;

They do not believe that love is love, otherwise they would not conflate sex with love;

Kindness is not everything to them. They treat anyone who thinks differently than them with hate and contempt.
