The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant.

Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care.

How about a big fat NO!

Quote
It argued that trans women's inability to bear children may cause them to experience 'psychological dissonance' which undermines their health and well-being.

"may cause them to experience 'psychological dissonance"
About that........

How about the AMA funds the uterus transplants for trannies?  Seems only fair as it's their idea.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"'Taxpayers should pay doctors a whole lot of money!!' says the AMA."

Why am I not surprised.

More stupid *expletive deleted*it from TokTok

Quote
Oldham County Schools said students who participate in a new social media video challenge that’s considered threatening will be facing serious consequences.

The school district confirmed there have been incidents of students participating in the TikTok “challenge” that encourages them to get a video of themselves telling the teacher there’s a bomb or gun in their backpack.
https://www.wave3.com/2023/08/18/ocs-confirms-incidents-students-participating-threatening-tiktok-challenge/

What the heck is it with TokTok and stuff like this and why do stupid Americans keep falling for it?
Isn't TikTok supposedly run by the Chinese Govt?

Along that same line of thought............

Viral Anti-Marriage TikTok Looks Like CHINESE DEEPFAKE, TikTok Is Brainwashing Your Kids
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3FPPZhkjtQ

This was the only video I could find mentioning this today.  I saw it mentioned in a number of places.  A TikTok video that seemed to make marriage and kids look like a bad life choice.  Lots of Chinese stuff in the background and it looks like it was filmed in China.  This video is saying the woman might be Chinese and video was altered to make her look American, but that is just speculation. 

Just more propaganda BS.

TikTok challenges . . .  :facepalm:

I did a lot of dumb stuff when I was a kid, and maybe it's a good thing that there wasn't YouTube or TikTok or even the internet back then . . . but EVEN AT MY WORST, I was never as downright stupid and oblivious to the consequences as so many of today's kids seem to be. I knew that bragging about something "bad" that I got away with was a great way to NOT get away with it. (FWIW, I was generally law abiding, but never had a lot of respect for mere rules.)

Some mother-son texting prior to his killing the mother of his child. The mangled language is almost as bad as the murder.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/mother-charged-incomprehensible-texts-reveal-helped-son-plan-deadly-shooting

Lovely.

The shooter is 20, the shootee was 18, and they had a 2-year old child. Which means that he got his girlfriend knocked up when he was 18 and she was 15 or 16.

They're already experiencing psychological dissonance. Isn't that exactly what "gender dysphoria" is?

That is horrific to look at.  If I had seen that photo in any other context, I would assume it was a bad photoshop especially since the rest of the muscles don't look like much in comparrison.
