For Maxine, the L.A. mom, balancing the banal with the existential is a daily strain.

“My kid is just living their life. They want to go to concerts, they want to go shopping for back to school — they don’t know any of this is happening,” the mother said. “You have to experience this intense fear while maintaining a normal household for everybody else.”


Your kid is not a “they”

“Transgender care” is a contradiction in terms.

Ending transgender care for kid victims at hospitals?

Trump should get a nom for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, as it saves kids' lives from cruel manipulation.

“transgender care” at any stage is the road to ultimate sexual mutilation.

This entire Trans-Surgery for Tots horror show has been a bitter lesson to all of us just how illogical, hive minded, greedy, amoral and easily corrupted our nation’s top medical institutions can become. The wisdom and magnanimous qualities of Marcus Welby/ Ben Casey TV Doctors be dammed! It’s not over yet, but may have peaked and plateaued for now in the states.

If this keeps up the trans suicide rate is going to drop. Now we need to heal the people tricked into sex-change insanity.

The ONLY care for a “transgender” is psychological. This comes from someone who has a son experiencing this. My son has ruined his body by taking hormones prescribed to him by a physician. This crap needs to stop.

If their kid wants to be a bag of fruit, the family and the kid should pay for it. Nobody else.

For the 110th time, it’s not “care”. It’s surgical/drug mutilation.

I don’t like that they are spinning this as a “Trump” or political issue. “Transgender care” for children is medical malpractice, period. That has nothing to do with Trump or a political trend. Any decent person should see that. Its a modern version of the 1940s lobotomy craze.

U.S. Government Fact Sheet on Female Genital Mutilation or Cutting (FGM/C)

What Are the Criminal Consequences of Performing or Assisting in FGM/C?

It is against U.S. law to perform, attempt to perform, or conspire to perform FGM/C on a girl under the age of 18, or to send her outside the United States for the purpose of FGM/C (18 USC § 116). It is also against the law for a parent, guardian, or caretaker to facilitate or to consent to FGM/C. Violation of the law is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, fines, or both. There is no exception for performing FGM/C because of religion, custom, ritual, tradition or standard practice. Additionally, 41 states have laws criminalizing FGM/C and FGM/C constitutes a form of child abuse, which is prohibited in every state.

A good start, but we need to round up every adult involved in the child castration enterprise and have war crimes trials.

Take your mutilated genitals and get on with yourself. All this will be filed under “Trumps fault”.

My new neighbor, an attractive woman, told me she has three kids, and one of them is a trannie. She’s about 60, I think. Maybe her trannie kid was an adult when making that change. When I get to know her better, I’ll ask her.
