Gender-Affirming Surgeries

 

I know I'm going to get pushback on this from certain quarters, but I'm going to say it anyway.  The GOP and GOP-aligned elements should stop militating against so-called 'gender-affirming practices'.  It's fine to say — periodically — that they think it's a bad idea.  Heck, I think it's a bad idea, but no one's doing gender-affirming surgery on me or anyone I care about.

Now, why would any right-thinking person hold such a position?  The reason is very simple:  we constantly bleat that actions (like elections) have consequences.  What better way to forcefully make that point than to let those consequences occur?

We're told that 'often', 'generally', or maybe 'always' such surgeries leave the patient sterile.  That means the gene, if that's what it is, or the political ideology, if that's what it is, is not going to be passed on to the next generation — because there won't be a next generation.  It's a self-correcting problem, meaning:  we don't need to do anything about it.

There is a time to make things happen, and there is a time to let things happen.  It's important to know the difference.
