Logical disconnect
« on: January 08, 2017, 02:53:49 PM »
News flash: Great Britain's National Health Service has money problems:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/britains-health-humanitarian-crisis-red-cross-100221224.html

So why are public funds paying for a self-identified transgender woman to have a baby and then undergo gender reassignment surgery that will cost on the order of £29,000 ($35,500)? Did I mention that the soon-to-be mother/father/whatever is unemployed?

“In September I got pregnant by a sperm donation.

“I found the donor on the internet.

“I looked on Facebook for a group and found one — it’s been shut down now.

“I didn’t have to pay.

“The man came to my house, he passed me the sperm in a pot and I did it via a syringe.

“I felt I’d no choice, I couldn’t afford a proper clinic.

“I don’t know who the bloke was.

“To be honest I can’t remember anything about him.

“He wouldn’t even tell me his name.

“He didn’t want any contact.

“He said he was just doing it to help people.

“It was the first attempt and it worked.

“I was really lucky.”

“Carrying a baby is meant to be a happy time, but in my body it feels wrong.

I think the proper British term for this is "nutter".

They probably force sperm donors to take responsibility for the resulting child no matter the circumstances. 

Which pretty much points out the lie of the second link.  This isn't a man who is having the child.  Just a woman disguised as a man.

I fully embrace recognizing and proper treatment of mental illness without unnecessary stigma.
I do not support celebrating and encouraging mental illness.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

This. The headline that suckered me in was about a "man" who is four months pregnant, and I thought that would be of some interest. Imagine my disappointment when I realized it's just a woman with gender confusion issues. Once I realized that, the only part of interest was that he/she/it is unemployed and that the taxpayers are going to foot the bill for his/her/its gender reassignment. I don't think that's right. If she wants to be come a he (sort of, to the extent possible) I don't have a quarrel with that. I just think he/she/it should pay for it.

It also ocurs to me that SJWs today seem to like putting the female first (at least, those who don't use artificial, made-up pronouns to confuse everyone still more), so perhaps it should be she/he/it. But the abbreviated version of that, perhaps appropriately, would be s/h/it.

To all reporters, SJWs, pronoun insisting protestors, and confused people in general:

If a mammal is having a baby, she is female.

It's really that simple.

Even simpler: XX = female, XY = male
I'll grant some leeway to those who legitimately have some other combination, but I seriously doubt they account for any significant fraction of the "gender confused" snowflakes out there.  And as far as gender reassignment, it's just playing dress up unless you find a way to switch your DNA over too.

Meanwhile, not to be outdone by (formerly) Great Britain the no longer great state of California will provide sex reassignment surgery to a 57 y/o convict serving a life sentence WOP. Once it becomes a pseudo-woman it will be transferred to a female prison.  ???

Quote
A 57-year-old convicted killer serving a life sentence in California is the first inmate in the United States to receive state-financed sex-reassignment surgery, the prisoner’s lawyers said.

California prison officials agreed in August 2015 to pay for the surgery for the inmate, Shiloh Heavenly Quine, who was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery for ransom and has no possibility of parole.

Is it me or does it seem the more money problems an entity has the more likely it is to provide service to people with no hope of reimbursement of the full cost of the procedure from that person?

Would've been vastly cheaper just to arrange an "accident."
