There’s nothing ‘affirming’ about mutilating children

Next, there s the laughable claim that a 4-year-old can make such life-altering decisions for themselves. As outspoken liberal Bill Maher said on his HBO show Real Time, I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God no one scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery.

Here in Texas, the state Senate recently held a hearing on Senate Bill 14, which would prohibit medical doctors and professionals from administering puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones, or performing surgeries, to children under 18. When psychologist Megan Mooney was asked, Whenever a child who comes in and says I m a trans kid, do you believe them? Mooney answered without hesitation, Yes.

But children say all kinds of things, and they change their minds a lot. There s no denying the social contagion in the transgender movement among children. In California, for example, children identify as trans at a rate 38% higher than the national average. And nationwide, the number of children identifying as trans has doubled in recent years even as the number of trans adults stays the same.

Bill Maher wanted to be a pirate — “Thank God no one scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery.” That’s pretty funny. No wonder he gets paid the big bucks.
