Unanimous decision. “We are deeply disappointed by today's ruling, which allows Missouri to continue violating the fundamental constitutional rights of transgender Missourians,” Senior Attorney at Lambda Legal Nora Huppert said in the news release.

genital sexual mutilation is a human rights abuse. 100% decision.

The headline is a lie. Castration is not "gender affirming".

What we need is a death penalty the crime against humanity that is the promotion of child castration.
If that means (among other things) mass executions of public school teachers, so be it.

I’d like them to explain just what their “fundamental constitutional rights” are for self or child mutilation.

Good news, bad headline. The term “gender affirming care” accepts a made-up propaganda phrase.

“””why does anyone accept the disgusting euphemism “gender-affirming care?””””

It is sickening they have been able to cement “gender-affirming care” as the term media uses for this barbarous practice. I wish our side would refuse to use it.

“genital sexual mutilation is a human rights abuse.”

They now have genital sexual mutilation as gender-affirming care. That sounds so much better.

Think about this. You can’t get a tattoo until you are 18 because it is a permanent decision.. But it is ok to cut off your parts when you are 10.

Shoot we allowed them to hijack the rainbow, the word “gay”, can’t use words like illegal alien, “Indian” when talking about our version of that word, retard, or midget, and misuse “democracy”. Nothing will change. Heck I was corrected the other day when I said the word “Asian” in a sentence pointing out a person in a crowd.

“gender-affirming”

You got to give it to the vile leftist euphemism factory, they’re good at coining terms that can even make child castration and horrid mutilation sound positive.

I truly despise their propaganda machine.

Our side should draw the line at gender-affirming care. It is an insult to one’s sensibilities.

No child believes they were born in the wrong body unless a creepy adult deliberately puts that idea in their head.

How many creepy adults disagree?
