Vice News: T*********r Surgery Should Remain “Essential” During Outbreak

Responsible hospitals around the country are putting an end to elective surgeries during the c****av***s outbreak, not wanting to waste medical supplies, paink**lers, drugs, and personal protective equipment on cataract operations, nose jobs, and breast augmentations at this perilous time.

Granted, there are still plenty of hospitals blissfully ignoring the inevitable flood of C****-** patients coming in a week or so; they’re still glad to take your money and schedule your non-essential, elective surgery. But even that won’t last much longer – not in a situation where the federal government is looking at a shortfall of ventilators, masks, and other PPE.

This is a time where public pressure should come down hard on hospitals, clinics, and patients who are still choosing to go through with trivial surgeries being done in the name of vanity.

Instead, Vice News and L**T groups are trying to convince the public that t*********r s*x c****e operations (of all things) are the very definition of an “essential” surgery at this time.

“For t*********r and g****r non-conforming people, g****r-affirming surgeries are life-altering procedures, which, for many, can greatly reduce g****r dysphoria and improve their quality of life. But in the midst of the C****-** p******c, t***s communities on Reddit and Twitter are being flooded with reports of postponed and canceled surgeries in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Thailand, and elsewhere, leading to enormous stress and disappointment on top of a global health crisis,” the site reported on Thursday.

“This underscores a common experience amongst t***s people seeking medical care or surgery: Research has suggested that g****r-affirming surgery, in particular, has a notable and long-term impact on mental health, but far too often, t***s people already wait far longer than is safe or healthy for this care. Further delays can be dangerous and even life-threatening,” the report continued.

Okay. Enough.

Sorry, but if you are a fully-grown adult and you want to mangle your body so that it comes in line with your delusions and you can find a doctor willing to help you, hey, it’s America. Go for it. But your right to play G****r Identity Bingo ends with the public’s right to focus on a crisis. The idea that getting a s*x c****e is somehow more important than a facelift or a boob job is absurd. And the thought that hospital beds, masks, medical personnel, and anesthesia will be used for these inane surgeries at a time when we need all hands (and equipment) on deck is downright infuriating.

There’s nothing quite like a national emergency to shine a light on the t***h of what’s important…and what isn’t. You can cry to the heavens that g****r-affirmation surgery is medically “necessary,” and that might work under normal circumstances. The bleeding hearts will buy in, certainly.

But at a time like this? Your “I’m stuck in the wrong body” nonsense just isn’t a priority.

It is a psychiatric issue - and not an emergency.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) provides for one overarching diagnosis of g****r dysphoria with separate specific criteria for children and for adolescents and adults.

IMHO: Elective surgeries are a "personal problem," something one thinks one needs to satisfy their mental state. Since it is "their mental state," they should go to a mental hospital and see if some mental doctor can work them through it.

I have no problem with a woman increasing her bust size and her risk of back problems, her lips mutilated to look like a Carp, nor do I care if some guy wants to get chopped and channelled or have his penis enlarged or shrunk, or even someone believing that being "q***r" is somehow normal, HOWEVER, I do have a real problem with the costs incurred by these "personal problems," whether during the time of an "E******n Year V***s crisis" or in normal times when things are going very well, being lumped upon the working taxpayers of this country.

One does have the Constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness, but since these things are "elective" the costs of accomplishing their "happiness" should be charged to the person who "elects" to have it done; their "happiness" should NOT be MY responsibility, nor should I have to do any more than "tolerate" their folly. WTF should I have to pay for their "happiness surgery," or accept their "a******l behavior," any more than paying for them to go to some rotten Hollywood production they wanted to see to bolster their socialist beliefs?

I don't feel that I should be forced to accept, or even like, their lifestyle, their religion, or their dumb ass philosophy, but I do have a moral responsibility to tolerate it if it doesn't physically injure me; I believe I am mentally stable enough to handle it myself, but if I'm not, then I should be seeking mental help for MY problem, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, providing I can find a psychologist or a psychiatrist that is actually mentally competent enough to do me some good without blowing my mind!

As to the USA, MY COUNTRY, damn the anti-USA politicians, the Deep State Establishment G*******ts, and their political obstructionism and bio-terrorism--->full speed ahead! Let's get UNITED as US Citizens once again, put away our childish thoughts and toys, and get'r done! Go President Trump!!

Yes to all of the above comments. There is a time and place and this is not it. And do it on your own damn dime.

Mike Easterday

I have no sympathy for the t***s weirdos !

American Vet

Perhaps not sympathy; but keep in mind they are sick people.

Big Kahuna

What's essential for a t*********r is immediate psychotherapy.

Mike Easterday

Mental hospitals need to be put to use for these freaks.

Absolutely correct, right on target>

IMHO: I don't believe they should be referred to as "freaks." It's not their fault, it is their weakness and our political complacency. "We the people" were given this Republic by our Founding Fathers,"if we could keep it," and we have the responsibility to see that this country continues as a sovereign Republic! Unfortunately, we were, and still are, derelict in our duties, and now we are witnessing the possible downfall of the USA; we should be ashamed.

These "freaks" as you call them are simply products of the Deep State educational programming now infesting our public educational system and our government, and therefore they are now mentally deranged. It's a wonder that many of them can even tie their own shoes! The USA has been, and is currently, under a psychological attack as well as a bio-terrorist attack. The panic caused by this e******n year v***s is likely to be far worse than the actual v***s itself. We are at war with the Deep State but we seem to be afraid to admit it; a war cannot be won unless it is defined, we admit we are at war, and provide a united effort to win it. The Deep State continually presses to stir and divide the people of the USA, pitting person against person, religion against religion, and government parties against each other. President Trump has admitted we are at war, and is trying very hard to win it. He needs our help, not our constant criticism.

What these mentally misdirected people really need is to be deprogrammed. They should maybe be classified as mentally disturbed, or maybe the now politically incorrect original term from way back, "q***r," meaning different from the norm. We used to have many more mental hospitals and insane asylums than we do now, many less people, and maybe many of these institutions should be reestablished and new ones built to handle the increased workload. And no, I'm not pushing for increasing the size of "Big Pharma" to make junkies out of these people; we have enough of that already! Political Correctness is, itself, a socialist mental disorder that should be eliminated.

Our Constitution gives us the right to "pursue happiness," but it doesn't guarantee us that we can achieve "happiness" without serious effort on our part, nor does it say the government should provide this "happiness" and bill it to the taxpayers. The Constitution was written to limit the government, not the people, and the government is supposed to work for the people, not the people work for the government. The socialists are attempting to turn the Constitution upside down and make the people fear their government rather than the government fearing the people, and we must reverse this attitude lest we become a complete police state!

The people of the USA appear to have lost their ability to tolerate anything they don't happen to agree with, and/or use plain old common sense. This holds true in government, society, religion, and even home owners associations; IAW, as long as I'm happy, it's OK, and to Hell with you if you can't be happy with it, or why should I listen to you scream because I'm standing on your toe, I'm feeling no pain! There is, of course, one advantage of a socialist world in this situation, there won't be any home owners associations, since individuals can't own real property! The disadvantage, of course, is that socialism always fails when the Elites that govern run out of other peoples money and greed takes over. Then a new society springs up and begins anew and the cycle repeats.

It is really a sad state of affairs that a minority group, such as the Deep State, that now infests our culture, language, and borders, has been allowed to sway our very successful Republic toward the poverty and misery of the dark side. President Trump should have fired all of the Obama/Bush/Clinton holdovers on his first day in office. Without our culture, our English language, and our borders, WE WILL HAVE NO COUNTRY, which is the ultimate goal of the Deep State, with their New World Order, their United Nations, their Agenda-21, and now their Agenda-30. One World Government - - a King, his/her enforcers, s***es, and all! Everyone is to be equal (in poverty), but a few will be more equal than others. What a piss poor way to live that would be, particularly if you are in the majority s***ery/poverty group rather than one of the Controlling Elites! Will "happiness" be taking our "Soma?" I truly hope not.

Un fortunately a large percentage of the population is happy with the SOMA that has beenpromoted through the school system and the psychiatrists and psycologists that seem to be running not only the "mental health" institutions but the entire school system all the way through our colleges.

Have to agree with most of what you say.

I agree.
