What an odd hill for conservatives to want to die on. Of all things wrong w America, the big issue is pronouns 🙄

Yeah, pronouns, that's what this sick child mutilating savagery is about.

Oh is this about puberty blockers? Despite what you may have read, the fact is children aren’t being put on them except in extremely rare cases and after months of care, if not years. It’s a nothing burger. And it’s weird to see people on both sides so consumed by kids genitals.

Besides idk if you think railing against puberty blockers will some how change the outcome? If a person is trans they’ll have been trans their whole life. If they identify that way, that’s nothing off your back. There’s more important issues than these hilariously statistically non existent fringe cases which, btw, are between the parents, the child in question and medical professionals. I wish the right wing would worry more about corporatocracy and inflation and housing crises and less about strangers genitals. 😔

The schools are promoting it, it is statistically a contagion (3000% rise in 5 years), and it is pure evil butchery and satanic malpractice.

I disagree it’s satanic. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea but it’s not my business how parents raise their kids. It’s not anyone’s

Child sex mutilation is everyone's business.

It’s not mutilation. That is an emotionally charge appeal. Stick with the facts. Children arent getting surgery, puberty blockers are reversible and also very rare. And stamping your feet won’t make minors stop identifying as transgender. Do you have any idea how out of touch you and every right winger sounds? Who do you think the next generation is? They are far more open and accepting of peoples identities. In fact, trans is a non issue outside of an aging demographic of far right conservatives. Pick a hill to die on that makes sense 🙂

They are being put on them frequently, major hospitals are doing it, it's a HUGE money-maker for them, and you are a liar.

Ok well I work in the actuarial space in the data clearinghouse for all the major healthcare orgs and I can tell you it’s statistically an outlier. We were asked to look at triporelin leuprolide and some others to see if a rate adjustment was necessary and it simply became informational and non adjustment factors. So you must be privy to information that major networks aren’t. It really isn’t much of a money maker because negotiated rates are fixed in contracts long before they become mainstream. If you want the money makers look at sickle cell, beta thalmassin, Alzheimer, hepatitis c, spina bifida etc. those are the majorly costly drugs. But by all means save the tens of children from this form or mutilation but stay silent on circumcision.

Yeah, it's such a NON-issue that in response to vile hospital actions, DOZENS off state legislatures are having to pass legislation to forbid it… Yeah, totally made up… Good grief.

They also passed legislation to ban CRT, a college level course, from being taught to kindergarten age kids, which was never happening. So yes, I can envision state legislators passing laws to address non issues because it pacifies the base. Sure. What’s your point?

LOL… Circumcision. You're a nut. A liar, too. There are TENS OF THOUSANDS, even hundreds of thousands, of kids caught up in trans contagion, it is a huge money-maker for Pharm and "gender clinics," and dem's the facts.

There are 73 million children in the US. Even if there were 500k trans kids (there arent) that’s still less than .5%.

You’re struggling to deal with the changing landscape of modern times and I understand it’s scary but what right wingers need to understand is this: gay people aren’t going back in the closet and people exist. They’ve always existed. It was just repressed before. I hope the right wing can learn in time to let people live 🙂

And wtf is a “gender clinic”? You must be deep, deep in some QANON bullshit to believe this rhetoric of hate.

Here’s a question- do you know a single LGBTQIA+ person?

Please provide evidence of “trans contagion” to support your argument. I’m waiting.
