Augustus Caesar called them “Murderers of your own posterity”–and that was just senators who wouldn’t marry or have children. He never could’ve imagined what we get up to.
I don’t know how influential they are, but the American Assn. of Physicians and Surgeons has to be more influential than I am. And they have just come out strongly against “transgender” and “gender-affirming care” (https://aapsonline.org/transgenderism-the-new-medical-standard/).
“Gender-affirming care” is a euphemism for lopping off healthy sexual organs and shooting children full of “puberty blocker” drugs. In almost all cases, says the AAPS, the patient receiving such care will be sterile for the rest of his or her life. The whole business requires “a lifelong need for medical, surgical, and psychological care.” Repeat: “a lifelong need.” You will never stop being a patient. The effects of this, uh, “care” are irreversible. But “doctors” involved in it… get rich! The number of these doctors increased by 400% from 2000 to 2014.
Does anybody really, truly, need to say this? “Changing physical appearance does not change biological sex.”
Hello? How many children can you sterilize before you put your country irrevocably on the road to extinction?
This madness has all bloomed during my own lifetime. I do remember a time when such things were unthinkable. Is this our civilization’s suicide not?
May God in His mercy deliver us.
