Thank you for telling the gruesome truth about this surgery. It is fraught with the risk of serious complications, and often ends up with a lifetime of things best described in medical journals. Informed consent used to be a crucial part of the discussion between a doctor and a patient. It’s hard to see how people can be fully aware of the risks of these procedures, and sign up to do them anyway. I agree with the pediatric doctors group who recently came out in opposition to this “ gender affirming care.” Sadly, they are a minority in the medical community, and risk professional criticism or worse. We all need to stand up against obvious delusional thinking and evil around us.
Thank you for the Gold Stars, Melissa; I haven't had any since maybe the 1st grade! As for the comparison between the lobotomy craze and the transgender craze, there are many more parallels: the Salem Witch trials, the daycare center pederasty scare of the 1980s, the Covid-19 distancing frenzy, the atomic bomb hide under your chair at school scare, heck even the 17th-century tulip bulb "investment" schemes etc. All are propelled by myth and delusion.
I did know a dentist in New York whose name was Dr. Payne. And then, of course, There's Jim Crook, here in Santa Barbara/Montecito, who sells cars but with an unfortunate last name (and he's a good guy!) like that, it wouldn't matter what he sold, he would always over-perform expectations, which he does regularly.
Over the past several years I have all too often been asked by parents to do a tattoo with the "new" name of their child who has "transitioned" to the opposite sex. They are so pathetic, they want to show forever that they support their child in this tragic identity reassignment. I always think of it as a memorial tattoo for the child they have allowed to go so seriously off track. With California laws now allowing minors to come here from other states for abortions without parental consent, I fear we will also become a "sanctuary state" for minors seeking this mutilation. The medical mental and moral consequences are staggering.
Electing a comedian didn't work out so well for Ukraine. And I don't believe anyone without the blessing of the Soros machine has a chance in this state of fruits and nuts.
Great job of historical comparisons Jim. Who knew about the lobotomies of the 1950ties and all the other false scares you mention. May these children get back in their right minds and may the perpetrators be exposed and prosecuted
Mary: I often think about lobotomies, certainly ever since seeing "One Flew Over The Cuckoos' Nest" with Jack Nicholson as McMurphy facing Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) down. Whooh!
Gender transition surgery would be a bad joke if it wasn’t so destructive. What’s the motivation - the opposite sex seems to be happier and better off? What does that tell ya about the prospect’s mental health? It certainly should be illegal to be performed on anyone under 18 y.o.
Unfortunatley, "One Flew Over the Coockoo’s Nest" in alive and well.
This topic brings up so many thought provoking aspects. First, your cartoon is “spot on”! Perhaps growing up under the influence of a Father/Mother of the Greatest Generation was responsible for my 7 siblings to become extremely productive Citizens and Parents. However, the degeneration of Society also had its roots in the Baby Boomers. Remembering childhood, a friend in school had a different name than his parents! What was that all about! Now, thinking back and remembering some peers that had no male or female figurehead were often ridiculed. Perhaps put into that situation, the “victim” may think “I hate myself”! Moving forward with today Society, “I hate myself” might be a common theme, therefore the advent of Gender-Affirming?
Attempting to avoid this adverse concept, I became confronted with a situation by a close associate. He had a daughter who apparently considered herself “ugly” growing up. So, she began to dress “boy like”. Somehow during her puberty, she found a surgeon that removed her breasts. Still not accepted, as a “boy”, she resigned herself to possibly being “female” and sought another surgeon for implants. The multitude of confusion tied to rejection and anger, she hung herself. Due to the nature of our media today, her tragic death and cause will never be reported, how often does this happen?
Dana, I have never been able to understand how so-called "doctors" can do what they do, especially when their "patients" are under-aged. How do they sleep at night?
Dana - I had a good buddy, (George) whose son Mark got addicted to drugs at 17 y.o. George tried everything, had all the best doctors etc. but nothing helped. George found a working ranch in hell-and-gone Alaska - the only way out was by the rancher’s private plane. Mark was there for more than a year and finally got clean. Do you think ‘tough love’ like that could have helped the poor girl in your story?
You probably remember the "Little Liver Pills" that not only did nothing for one's liver or any other organ, but also contained no liver whatsoever. They were finally taken off the market but had a good run nevertheless. I've got some snake oil in my basement that I'm thinking of marketing; I just need a good ad campaign and a good-looking label.
They were called "Carter's Little Liver Pills" and were sold as "cures" for headaches, constipation, dyspepsia, and biliousness. I guess they're out there still, but are now called "Carter's Little Pills."

5 Gold Stars!!!!! Thanks for the lobotomy comparison. Good to say it like it is! Reminds me of all the euphemisms for murdering a child in the womb.
If we don't advance the truth, the lies will trample us and advance into each generation.

J. Livingston: Ouch! Did anyone you know actually have a lobotomy?
A Kennedy being Promiscuous? Surely you jest!
Just goes to show we truly are sheep in need of The Good Shepherd.
If you enjoy the humor found in people’s names conforming to their jobs, look up the bio of Dr Gary Alter, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon/ urologist.

Well, Pat, if Steve Harvey gets himself elected governor, perhaps California would move away from its "sanctuary" status altogether!

Can she rest in peace?

Dana: I'm happy to report that I am not a member of the Boomer generation!
What a horrible experiment on children! This is reminiscent of the Nazis. Unbelievable that a doctor would resort to this.
