It was a great conversation. Exulansic often has fascinating, thought-provoking takes on the subject of gender. She's clearly thought deeply about this issue, and often manages to spark deep revelations in even my own thinking, which I didn't think was possible, as I've been studying this topic for decades. I'm so glad you had her on!

I only wish you'd have let her delve into more of it without cutting her off due to what appeared to be your own discomfort with the realities of what these surgeries are and what they actually entail. More people need to be jarred by the reality of it. The public is so used to hearing euphemistic, nebulous language like "gender affirming care", "top surgery", and "bottom surgery", but what they need to hear is what these procedures actually *are*, especially when it comes to the complicated and dangerous surgeries that involve penises and vaginas. A double mastectomy, particularly on healthy tissue, can lead to all kinds of problems, but those issues pale by comparison when you get into attempting to create neo-phalluses and neo-vaginas. There is a huge misconception that these are clearly defined one- size- fits- all surgeries, when in reality, doctors are making it up as they go along. It's ALL experimental, especially when it comes to individuals who have had their puberty blocked and don't have the required tissue to start with. (Hello, Jazz Jennings 👋) Then there's the truly disturbing "neutering" surgeries, which attempt to create a Barbie or Ken appearance, or the "I want it all" surgeries, where people want both sets of genitalia. And there are zero ethics present on the part of these doctors, who are clearly indulging mentally disturbed, emotionally vulnerable, and often pornsick individuals.

It's incredibly difficult to get access to this information online in a way that doesn't try to: a) sell you on trans joy, or b) send you down a deviant porn rabbit hole. Please have her on again and *let her speak*. Allow her to explain what these surgeries involve and the inevitable complications thar arise from doing this to your body.

And the Biden Administration is behind it. DO. NOT. VOTE. DEMOCRAT. They are creating seriously dire problems in the guise of "protection." It doesn't get any more Orwellian than "gender affirming care." What gets me is how all the evidence in the world that this is wrong, that these people are NOT transgender, but duped individuals, falls on deaf ears by those who are far too certain of their moral superiority.
