    You are free to polish up the turd and call it whatever you want. Use and make up all the big words you want. After you do that, it’s still cutting off a pecker.

    If that offends you, that means that I am having a good morning as I have pointed out the obvious to a Libbie and they are calling me names.

    I noticed you didn't answer any of my questions. Are you someone who cannot have a dispassionate dialog?

    Since you seem so proud of your ignorance, I looked up the various types of sexual reassignment and gender affirming procedures:
    1. Male-to-Female Surgeries:
      • Vaginoplasty
      • Breast augmentation
      • Facial feminization surgery
    2. Female-to-Male Surgeries:
      • Phalloplasty
      • Metoidioplasty
      • Chest masculinization
    3. Other Surgeries:
      • Orchiectomy
      • Facial masculinization surgery
      • Voice surgery
    But sure, "cutting off the pecker" is a reasonable generalization. :rolleyes:

    Pretty sure the PC names are now addadictomy and chopitoffomy.

    Absolutely. Like getting fake breasts or a tummy tuck. Pay out of pocket. Agree 100%

    I don't know what your goals are (and I don't care), but there are many "caring" people out there that want to do just that.

    Very good work! You’ve just identified and excellent way to cut a couple of billion out of the cost pool that insurance has to cover. Thank you.

    Of course, any society that was crazy enough to ever say that this kind of stuff wasn’t elective, has already cut off their balls so that they don’t have the balls to correct it.

    There is also a new drug coming out for women contemplating surgery to become a man. It’s called Trycoxagan and the clinical trials should be wrapping up soon.

    Those penis surgeries often don’t go well.

    A guy I know had a baby elephant trunk attachment.

    He was so proud of his new junk until it stuffed a biscuit up his ass at dinner one night. As much as he tried he couldn’t control it.

    Last I heard bathing in a tub was a spectacle to behold.

    Peckerectomy, then. The notion that you are in a position to demand respect be shown for the act of self-mutilation is ludicrous.

    Great! Now the insurance pool has to pay for biscuit removal and a new tub for people with baby elephant trunks for schlongs!

    FYI and also keep in mind that the surgery is extremely rare and that even with increased availability its prevalence would still remain very low.
    Mental health benefits associated with gender-affirming surgery | News | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
    The study examined data from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, which included nearly 20,000 participants, 38.8% of whom identified as transgender women, 32.5% of whom identified as transgender men, and 26.6% of whom identified as nonbinary. Of the respondents, 12.8% had undergone gender-affirming surgery at least two years prior and 59.2% wanted to undergo surgery but had not done so yet.

    Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a 42% reduction in psychological distress and a 44% reduction in suicidal ideation when compared with transgender and gender-diverse people who had not had gender-affirming surgery but wanted it, according to the findings.

    Most of the sources out there are reexamining the 2015 study vs a new study. There are some sites saying the conclusions were withdrawn and changed to no statistical difference.

    So , Tuesday

    Litigation will slow this down. Hopefully some other hero’s will emerge to stop these so called medical professionals from mutilating children going through a psychotic episode.

    Are you guys still talking about this non-issue? Wish those obsessed with this would get theirs testicles to finally drop so they can move on to other important republican things. Things like the Lizzo flute scandal, the sexy M&M situation, the gender-neutral litter box scandal, woke military uniforms, and anything with rainbows. You know, things that mean a lot to republicans.

    Trivia: when I was a waiter at Manaro’s, back in the eighties, I waited on Renee Richards.

    I think that is an orchiectomy.

    Judging by the intellectual level of their jokes, that's a few years away. "Trycoxagan," "Peckerectomy," "addadictomy" and "chopitoffomy." These guys would be absolute legends in Miss Landers fifth grade class....legends. The Beaver would be jealous.
