“'You must affirm.' Affirm is the only standard. And so the child gets told, 'You’re right, you are secretly a boy or vice versa.'”

Yeah, that jumped out for me, too. Anything other than encouraging and helping a patient to exhaustively examine such feelings FROM EVERY ANGLE would be massively irresponsible. Not only because any step towards transitioning is a big fucking deal and not to be done lightly, but also because statements like that are a massive red flag for both self-harm and parental abuse, as well as various other disorders that stem from a person feeling alienated and disgusted by some fundamental aspect of themselves. Such feelings do not necessarily stem from self-loathing, but they could, and no responsible therapist is gonna just start lobbing unsupported opinions and therapies into unexplored territory like that.

Ta, Crip Dyke. Megyn used to be conventionally good looking. Now, the evil is showing and it has manifested in the flesh. Can't she find something to do with her time? Fortunately, she now is a nonentity and whatever the opposite of an influencer may be. Trans rights are human rights. Always.

FWIW, my kid had puberty blockers as an alternative to growth hormone. Probably gave him an extra inch or two.

And nobody says boo when that’s what it’s used for, which just underlines the hypocrisy.

Why can't someone just explain that this is a medical issue that affects a small amount of people and not a party playtime?

The considerable stigma and grief they are given must be borne and some die broken or murdered by the ignorant hate directed at them, just to be who they are.

She's right...the evil of the Anti-trans agenda is a story of our times.

Namaste

Yep. This disgusted me and Maher was bobbleheading with her...

Jesus H, Megyn’s number 1 concern in this crazy f kin country is trans kids?

I will bet you more kids die from illegal supposedly regulated industrial pollution than have gender changing surgery.

Also, our world’s existential crisis like wars, nuclear bombs, cat 6 hurricanes, and corporate media will all get more existentially worse if the idiot voters win next week.

Lock him and Elmo up.

The Universe wonders, will Megyn Kelly ever learn humility? Being a talking head on Fox, then striking out into MSM land and with a huge contract with NBC, she failed spectacularly at being a real journalist because, you know, Fox is not journalism. So NBC paid her millions to go away. Millions. To just go away. You gotta realize you suck at your job if they pay you that much to stop trying to do your job. To stay relevant, she serves up hateful conservative bullshit. Lovely. I wish she would just stay home, out of the media, and count her fucking go away money, and just STFU.

When she stops getting richer and thinner she'll quit.

Gonna invoke Betteridge's law of headlines: "No"

The Republicans think this is what everyone cares about, while discussing abortion is frivolous and a waste of time because all the voters are indifferent to that now.

Good luck with that one.

She's like Kim Jong-Un. If she's out of the headlines for too long, she launches rockets in a desperate bid for attention and dollars.

She took the seat right behind Ann Coulter on the skank train.

Is that asshole still on the teevees? Maher, I mean although Kelly qualifies too.

That sanctimonious prick was always being contrarian just so he could seem edgy, to the same effect that FElon has regarding being cool.

That being said neither of these two sound even remotely honest about this being "the single most important issue". More like selectively choosing a tiny minority of humans to demonize in order to instill hate.

He's on Max these days, and I flip off my TV every goddamn time it suggests his show to me. FUCK that guy.

Megan, have you been reading my stories again? Yes, they involve adult situations with people who get gender swapped, but… you DO realize they’re fiction, right? I thought the werewolves and magical catgirls would’ve made that clear, but, well, you ARE Megan Kelly…

They both do look somewhat alike, and so, I can see how a mistake can be made.

"To sum up, none of this looks bad for liberals or good for conservatives." Except that "conservatives" are more likely to take the lies and misrepresentations as gospel, and never avail themselves of the truth

You know what I think this is... I think this is another attack on Trans women. They assume that as someone who was AMAB, a Transwoman cannot feel sexual pleasure once they've had bottom surgery. These idiots are so sexually ignorant that they believe the only way someone with a male type body can experience sexual pleasure is through their penis.

I'd say they probably think people with female type bodies can only experience sexual pleasure via the vagina, but I doubt they believe women can experience sexual pleasure at all.

Expand full comment

I can personally affirm that Transwomen (this one, anyway) can indeed feel sexual pleasure after bottom surgery, including via (neo)vagina

Expand full comment

I have no experience in this area myself, but I figured that would be the case (isn't medical science an amazing thing).

Expand full comment

I love the term neovagina you used here! It sounds like there’s disco lights and laser beams involved and it sounds magical!

"women can experience sexual pleasure at all"

What nonsense do you speak of?

I have been with more than one women, and none of them experienced sexual pleasure.

Harrumpf!
