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.
I did Nazi that one coming.
Does this ghoul go out in public? Does he expect to continue to be able to live in society, go into restaurants, rent cars, go for a walk?
This is the piece I don’t understand. Do these people not have a notion of the social contract? Do unto others? How could a person knowingly be associated with something like project 2025 and just keep on trying to exist in the public sphere?
It’s so fucking crazy that a handful of creepy weirdos have so much influence on this country, just because the Republicans hold power. I shouldn’t have to care what an asshat like this “wants”; the rule of law should prevail and most people should be able to point and laugh at an unflushable turd like this.
Imagine if the Democrats worked anything at all like this. Some random scribbler with a weird personal hobbyhorse expresses what they want in relation to a marginalized group and the entire party acts on it.
It cannot be stated enough: conservatives are WEIRD FREAKS. The Republican Party: same thing.
Aww. Does the poor widdle baby get confused feelings about pretty girls?
I know people who have done steroids my entire life and they are against gender affirming care
They will never understand that they are getting gender affirming care. Just for a different gender
Haircuts are gender affirming care. Clothing is gender affirming care. Glasses are gender affirming care.
There is a correlation between Christian indoctrination and political violence. I think we should outlaw that. Exposing your children to religion is traumatic and should be considered child abuse.
Opus Dei are quite dangerous, they even support slavery. Kevin is probably part of “the cult within the cult”.
How about they run the numbers on fat cis white guys. Then compare them.
You can really see meal team six’s gravy seals holding the thin crust line here!
What are those plate carriers supposed to cover?
By his logic, if one trans person shooting folks should make all trans medicine be banned, the ridiculous amount of white male mass shooters should see all white dudes put into prison camps at birth.
By his logic
Nobody here is using that shit.
Logic that is.
This is meant to do what it always did, rile up stupid hicks against a manufactured enemy and provide leverage for politicians who want to succeed on the backs of a fearful mob of hicks.
Not only that, but us straight, white dudes do so many shootings that despite there really not being that many trans people they’re still under-represented. It’s not like there were only five shootings and so 20% was by a trans person, there were so many that it’s less than a percent.
It’s not just the flat numbers, but the percentages, too.
Project 2025 creator needs to feel the same type of fear that he is whipping up.
Preventing trans people from physically transitioning isn’t going to make them not trans.
No, but they’re trying to exterminate the groups. Once they’re done genocide-ing the immigrants, they’ll add on the other undesirables. That’s why they’re making the camps so big.
We should just ban white men then too, eh?
Can we?
Viagra is gender-affirming care.
Breaking News: Inch Given, Mile Taken, more at 11.
To be fair, they took the inch too.
A number of them beyond reckoning. Thousands.
Tens of thousands.
It’s because this choad has only one angry inch to give
Not surprised, this is the main reason why I never said “Well I guess you should be 18 to transition”, I knew gender affirming care bans were never going to be just for minors.
Trump himself gave up the game when he made 19 the minimum age for federal plans.
This man does not deserve the right to life.
