Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts recently endorsed taking care away from transgender adults, saying in an episode of the PBD podcast that the organization is currently “running the numbers” on the supposed correlation between gender-affirming surgeries and violence. His proposed solution? “You outlaw it.”
“But where there continues to be disagreement is on what you do with adults. At Heritage, we believe that so-called transgender surgery is bad for anybody because of what you saw in Rhode Island yesterday,” Roberts said, referencing the Monday mass shooting that left three people dead, including the shooter, and three others critically injured, all of whom were related to the shooter. Police have described the attack as targeted and domestic in nature.
“There does seem to be a mounting body of evidence that suggests a correlation between that surgery at any age, mental health issues, and increasingly, although we’re running the numbers on this at Heritage, acts of violence,” Roberts added, falsely.
ok fuckhead, but make it include all gender-affirming care for everyone, trans or not.
no boner pills, no hair transplants, no leg-lengthening, no plastic surgery to change your appearance. be hypocritical more you rat fuck.
And they don’t care at all about intersex newborns being ’corrected’ to conform to whichever binary a doctor decides and totally without the person’s consent, nor infant boys having their most sensitive part cut off for 100% cosmetic reasons, again without their consent.
No, apparently consenting adults getting informed medical care is the problem.
The Heritage Foundation’s morals are completely backwards.
we must never forget this, and act accordingly. these people have defective morals. they have no right to tell any of us what’s right and wrong

Hypocrisy is a feature of their worldview, not a bug. Them getting excluded from so-called “common morals” are just signifiers of power.
They’re like the cruellest of school bullies, that’s why they’re also accusing of ordinary trans and gay people with being pedophiles, while their own are being involved in child sex trafficking. The cruellest thing any school bully can do is convincing the teachers that hitting back was worse than them hitting first, while continuing to torment their classmates.
Trouble is, if you take this away from trans people, some will kill themselves.
And if you take it away from angry white men, you just get angrier white men.
