If someone wants to tomahawk their junk, go for it. Just don't expect taxpayers to pay for it or for every doctor to be willing to do it. And once it's off, get the military out of your mind. Open a beauty shop or something like that. It'll suit your sensibilities much better

Outside of something that is medically necessary like saving someone's life or an emergency situation a doctor shouldn't be required to do anything they believe is not for the good of the patient.

And that should be for all doctors regardless.

Oh. Kids are being circumcised and mutilated routinely at birth and all this choirboy castration and plastic surgery is "available." What the fuck does the military have anything to fight for anyways?

Joe Biden has been hit again by a federal court blocking his administration’s mandate that would require doctors to perform gender reassignment surgeries even if they do not want to.

U.S. District Court of Northern Texas, Reed O’Connor, sided with the Christian plaintiffs in issuing a permanent injunction saying they are “to be exempt from the government’s requirements to perform abortions and gender-transition procedures,” Yahoo News reported.

A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a mandate on several religious organizations that would have required them to perform gender transition surgeries or abortions.

Judge Reed O’Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas permanently blocked the Biden administration from applying the mandate to all plaintiffs in the case. Those plaintiffs include the Franciscan Alliance, a Catholic hospital system that operates twelve hospitals in Indiana and Illinois, in addition to numerous other health facilities in those states.



The administration may not enforce the mandate on plaintiffs “in a manner that would require them to perform or provide insurance coverage for gender-transition procedures or abortions,” O’Connor wrote in his ruling.

Luke Goodrich, who is the vice president and legal counsel for the freedom advocacy group Becket, said, “No doctor should be forced to perform controversial, medically unsupported procedures that are contrary to their conscience and could be deeply harmful to their patients.”



The decision permanently enjoins Health And Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra from “interpreting or enforcing” the mandate “in a manner that would require them to perform or provide insurance coverage for gender-transition procedures or abortions, including by denying Federal financial assistance because of their failure to perform or provide insurance coverage for such procedures or by otherwise pursuing, charging, or assessing any penalties, fines, assessments, investigations, or other enforcement actions.”

“The Christian plaintiffs contend that violation of their statutory rights under RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) is an irreparable harm,” the judge said.



“The court agrees,” O’Connor said, “and concludes that enforcement of the 2021 interpretation (of Section 1557) forces Christian plaintiffs to face civil penalties or to perform gender-transition procedures and abortions contrary to their religious beliefs — a quintessential irreparable injury.”
The same judge struck down the mandate two years ago saying that the government “cannot force religious doctors and hospitals to perform gender transition procedures in violation of their conscience and professional medical judgment.”

The mandate was attached to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, by former President Obama’s administration.
It required healthcare providers to insure and perform gender transitions and it does not provide a religious exemption for providers.
Eight states, The Franciscan Alliance, and other Christian groups filed a lawsuit against the mandate and received a preliminary injunction on December 31, 2016, from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas that said the mandate “likely violates” the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The injunction said that providers could not be mandated to provide abortions and gender transition surgeries against their religious beliefs but that other parts of the mandates stayed intact.

“Today’s ruling protects patients, aligns with current medical research, and ensures doctors aren’t forced to violate their religious beliefs and medical judgment,” Goodrich said in a series of tweets.


“The plaintiffs are a religious hospital & group of over 20,000 healthcare professionals (@CMDANational) who gladly serve ALL patients regardless of their sex or gender identity. They provide top-notch care to transgender patients for everything from cancer to the common cold,” he said.
“These religious doctors and hospitals joyfully serve ALL patients and routinely provide top-notch care to transgender patients. There is ample evidence, however, that some gender transition procedures can harm patients,” said.

What the hell? This makes no sense, this is utter insanity. If a doctor does not do that procedure then how the hell is he going to know how in the first place?

It would be interesting to see a list of the numbers of how many times high courts overturn a liberal president vs a conservative president.

Transsexuals are NOT all mentally ill — not by a long shot. This judge’s decision seems correct to me. At least from what little I’ve read. The ruling will probably effect very few people, as such operations — on adults — are usually undertaken by specialists, for obvious reasons.

But folks here should realize that sex re-alignment surgery is ALREADY performed at virtually all religious hospitals. In some it is performed fairly frequently. How is that possible, you ask?

The real number of “intersex” births is almost always covered up by early “corrective” surgery. Estimates of “intersex” (hermaphroditic) births used to be estimated as 1 in 2,000 — but there are reasonable arguments being made that the actual number is some ten times higher. I am not talking about “full hermaphrodites” (extremely rare) but of very real partial ones, where there are obvious physical effects evident on the baby’s sex organs, internal and external. Usually the parents are informed when (and if) these anomalies are discovered, a decision is made, while the birth certificate reflects that decision only.

How can this be? The truth is many factors, including simple hormonal disruptions, can profoundly change the fetus’ sexual development. Hormonal changes also profoundly change brain circuitry in the fetus, and some transgender or gender dysphoric “feelings” almost certainly have such roots. Drugs now banned (like DES, which was once widely used to prevent miscarriages) clearly & frequently led to both dramatic physical and less obvious brain changes in the past. So “biological reality” for many is complicated. Sometimes intersex characteristics only are obvious later in life.

Just thought I would clarify this for those who believe with almost religious fervor that “there are only two biological sexes and you are born either male or female.”

The short but well known XX, XY (and XXY and XYY) chromosome configurations are themselves only very short genetic “triggers” whose effect can be suppressed or overwhelmed by outside hormonal influences on the fetus at different stages, leading to different results. Apparently early disruption tends to physical changes, later disruption effects more the evolving brain.

Parents with infants born with a tiny deformed penis and the internal organs of a woman, or vice versa, are usually expected to go along with medical advice (which usually is to make the child appear as a woman since that is often easiest surgically speaking) but children as they grow up often discover the truth, or at least a truth that their brain alone tells them. There are many hundreds of thousands of people with such conditions.

I am not arguing that there are not some people driven to “mental illness” by these various and different conditions. These conditions are typically very difficult for those born with them to deal with, given peer pressure and the expectations of society. Many of these people do not feel particularly “gay or lesbian” either, though many try living as such. Parents with infants with a tiny penis but the internal organs of a woman, or vice versa, usually are horrified and go along with medical advice, but children as they grow up often feel a mistake was made, feel cheated, or discover a truth that their brain alone tells them.

I think these cases of intersex people account for most sex altering surgery. That doesn’t mean surgery later in life is always successful, or a good idea. Or that it should be encouraged (either in infants or adults with these conditions). The high rate of suicides after adult surgery is a fact — apparently it rarely meets all hoped for expectations, and can lead to many expected and unexpected problems. But many do do well, especially if they are well aware of their options beforehand, get excellent treatment, and are upper middle class with resources and the support of loved ones. For many there is danger that regret after surgery can set in, too. Such surgery can certainly be wildly inappropriate, especially if the patient is too young, confused, or emotionally unprepared.

The faddishness of the LGBT movement in some circles is not the main problem, at least in my judgement. I think that expresses itself mostly in straight people who call themselves “bisexual” but almost never live with partners of the same sex, or else in mostly harmless “experimenting” among youth. Our society is changing, and that sometimes requires us getting used to tolerating people living their own lives in ways we find hard to accept. A great majority of Americans today support “same sex marriage” — something inconceivable just 20 years ago. Most of us learned to love “The Village People.” Hell, even Donald Trump stole their “Macho Man” and “YMCA” songs for his campaign rallies!

You're wrong.


If a dude walks around thinking he is a broad, there is definitely something wrong with his brain.

Especially if he goes to the extreme of having his pecker lopped off in a "sex change" operation.

A REAL medical doctor when confronted with such a patient would just give the man a prescription for Haldol so his delusions are less distracting to him.

I think Joe is some kind of latent sexual deviant. I'm just not up on all the names so it's hard to label his perversion.

There's nothing wrong with a human brain. Unless you're planning on firing a bullet through it.

He. His. Pecker. Wrong pronoun. Wrong name for the wrong body part. Wrong verb for the surgical operation. Clean up your language, sir.

That's a whole gang of doctors and cops who need to be continually whipped, beaten, and flogged, over and over again, for their quack medicine, medical malpractice, and medieval surgeries and medications for alleged mental illness. That is the state of the modern healthcare system which you gentlemen of the district so strongly desire to use not for healing but as an instrument of torture, mayhem, and corporal punishment at the pleasure of every pimp and procurator of the district.

The doctors claiming to do the actual "sex reassignment surgery" or whatever else they may call it, are not, of course, any more legitimate than the crooked shrink-head psychiatrists on your Mafia town payroll, even though there is obviously an unmet need for various reconstructive surgeries below the belt, due to birth defects, of which transsexuals may be considered a case, or injuries, or cancer etc.

But obviously no legitimate doctors are available in the U.S. to perform any kind of surgery on patients' private parts in a reasonable and prudent manner. The very thought is absurd after how they treat our little ones at the hospital.

I think Joe is some kind of latent sexual deviant. I'm just not up on all the names so it's hard to label his perversion.

Sure. Same as most so-called "doctors" of the Democratic Party medical Establishment. Especially the sort who have denied their Hippocratic Oath to deal Haldol and other mind-altering drugs as if that were somehow intended to be beneficial or part of healthful dietary regimen.

I doubt Senile Joe knows he issued a mandate

Oh he knows alright.. That's been the thing all along, where as he's damned good at playing the senile old man trying to squeak through, but get him pissed and he suddenly becomes the evil grandpa who knows best for everyone. The nation is being bamboozled big time with this motley crew. It's time to enact the 25th on this knuckle head, but he's competent enough for them not to do it is what they they figure, so he just tyrant's right along.

congenital eunuchs are in the bible.

Are eunuchs born or made?


A normal male has XY sex chromosomes which attribute all the masculine characters to them. However a eunuch is born when there is nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes during gamete formation as a result of which eunuchs have XXY as their sex chromosomes. Thus they are neither completely males nor females.

All of that is well and fine.

But the vast majority of She-Males and Shims are physiologically normative. Undistinguishable from any other fellow, except for the fact they are wearing women's drawers.

Pointing to rare exceptions means nothing really. We are talking about fellows who are goofy and touched in the head, and think they are actually broads.
