‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ host challenged Arkansas Governor Hutchinson on why he vetoed a bill banning youth gender reassignment surgeries. The essential position of Hutchinson is that government should not intervene in medical decisions between parents, children and doctors.
Tucker Carlson asked Hutchinson to reconcile laws against children drinking, laws against children getting tattoos, and the absence of a law stopping the chemical castration of children. The interview became very contentious.
Typical, this lawmaker fails to mention who did the blocking.
One lawmaker opposed to the measure compared it to the anti-integration bills Arkansas’ Legislature passed in 1958 in opposition to the previous year’s desegregation of Little Rock Central High School.
“What I see, this bill, is the most powerful again bullying the most vulnerable people in our state,” Democratic Sen. Clarke Tucker said before the vote.
But we all know the truth…
In September 1957 Arkansas Democratic Governor Orval E. Faubus became the national symbol of racial segregation when he used Arkansas National Guardsmen to block the enrollment of nine black students who had been ordered by a federal judge to desegregate Little Rock’s Central High School. His action created a national crisis with President Dwight D. Eisenhower finally ordering federal troops to Little Rock to ensure the judge’s order was obeyed, to protect the black students, and maintain order for the remainder of the school year. In the speech below Faubus defends his actions and calls for continued resistance to racial integration and what he calls an all-powerful, intrusive federal government.
Try not to conflate neurotic behavior with the immutable characteristic of race.
I took this quote regarding the people in favor of what the governor did by vetoing the bill, so it just shows that lawmakers always push the race Agenda when they don’t get their way.
They like to blame but never tell you the facts.
The Veto was overturned anyway which is a good thing.
Democrat clarke tucker is doing the bidding of the medical and drug company lobby
Sex changes are big business for doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists
And multinational drug companies
Democrats work for the the wealthy and corrupt
The party is owned by the richest in the world
The politicians cater to their interests
At 18, the child grown into an adult can make up his own mind.
He is either involved in a decision making process personally on this or he is scared of the evil specter behind it all.
He is not concerned about protecting the children of his state.
@tlhoward Its really that simple. It takes the pressure off of everyone. And here’s a news flash parents…ITS YOUR JOB TO GUIDE THEM TILL THEY ARE 18. You aren’t there to be their friends..they WANT you to tell them what to do…Try a little parenting..all kids go through shit when they are growing up..its confusing..some will have it harder than others. That’s a fact of life.
and how’s that working out?
Am not defending this nonsense, but I believe the transition works better if you start the “treatments” before a child reaches puberty.
I am very disappointed the AMA and other groups have reversed their long held position that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Not based on any change in the science, but in the politics
Puberty blockers might help a boy pass better as a woman, but he’ll never BE a woman. Minors do not have sufficient wisdom to decide to undergo hormone treatments and/or surgery that will render them sterile.
So you think it’s okay to give kids under the age of 10 drugs that will impact their ability to have children later in life. It’s ok for kindergartens & pre-schoolers having their teachers tell them how their parents are trying to ruin their lives because they call them a girl or a boy & your gender is based on how you’re feeling.
Or how about governments, schools & teachers who insist that children not getting sex transitioning should be taken away from their parents? or not voting Democrat?
The schools & teachers have no right telling any parent how to raise their children in most areas.
If anything, the AMA hasn’t done enough to stop what’s going on. There was a reason patients underwent psychiatric evaluation & counseling so they could have help transitioning & hopefully not regret it years later.
Uh, no I don’t think it’s OK and I said so in my post. I also criticized the AMA. Is English your first language?
This is sick Satanic stuff. The kids involved are being brainwashed by the schools or, in some cases, mentally ill parents. It is obvious at this point that if you send your children to public schools you are a knowing abuser of those children.
No they dont “work better” if given before puberty
They dont work at all
They just create science experiments that are physically and mentally tormented
Which is why they (those who think they are a different sex than the are born as) still have the highest suicided rate. The progs blame that on bullying…yet, I see less and less bullying with more and more adults forcing this on people….and they still kill themselves. Not because of bullying but rather they have a mental illness and OMG, they realize just because they pop pills or lop off body parts they are still confused and not happy.
It is just beyond evil Sarah. It is an abomination. Men cannot become women. They just become mutilated men. Women cannot become men. They just become mutilated women.
That doctors go along with this is disgusting.
If gender dysphasia isn’t a mental illness, what is it?
it’s the cultural Marxist’s political goal to use of The Science as ‘settled’ to normalize what should be understood as morally abhorrent. Add the secular aspect of government used to over ride fixed moral standards which determines a nation under God.
The AMA is as corrupt as any government 3-letter agency. That is not an exageration. Do your homework and you will see the truth.
So is the AAFP and the AAP, all medical associations are. They’re left wing political organizations and very corrupt imo.
Ah, but by then it’s too late. They will have over come their confusion.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing, this is the worse type of person! There are all types of laws for minors. This demon couldn’t respond to which ones he would undo!
Hey, ASA, I guess you feel it’s okay for parents to beat their kids and not have government intervene. You know, “limit the scope of government.”
Good old Asa showed up sure that his “well, real conservatives believe in limiting the scope of government.”
True, but no sane, caring person believes a parent OWNS a child and can treat that kid anyway he wants w/out government intervention.
We don’t allow the abuse of animals by their “OWNERS”, ASA! What a dumb shyt you are.
It’s against the law to declaw a house cat but OK to mutilate the body and distort the mind of a child.
Yea that makes a lot of sense, clear as mud.
Preach. Well said
Call me old fashioned, like I care; This is about weak politicians catering to perverts with money. No kid with a brain would make a decision to become ruined for life if not driven by adults who are nothing but perverts themselves
Not weak politicians, LGBQWERTY masquerading as “conservatives”. There is nothing conservative about the progressive/moderate/libertarian population.
I’d say that Sara Huckabee Sanders just got an “in kind” contribution from Tucker Carlson for her Gubernatorial campaign.
She sure as hell gonna get some from me.
You and me both, Maquis….
I hope you know what you’re doing. I always found Sarah nice but mediocre (just compare her to Kayleigh) but was all in for her UNTIL Trump had a rough patch and daddy Mike Huckabee was on Fox noise helping trash him.
But we have a lot of wishy washy trash so what do I know.
MY family will be glad to give Sarah Money
WE do not usually give out of state money to candidates because there can be so many be this one call far a donation from the family..
What about the cases where this mirage of gender reassignment surgery is done against one or both parents wishes? Or where the parent isn’t even aware of the schools doing it behind their backs? And I say mirage because all it does is mutilate the body. It can no more change biology than we can change day into night.
And for those that say “ it will always involve the parents”, guess how many abortions are done without the parents knowledge?
That only happens in Canada, Nazi Germany North, where the LGBQWERTY are allowed to experiment on children like their predecessors did under the guise of national socialism.
What you say about the schools is crucial.
This is the culturally marxist LGBQWERTY population in the Republican and Democrat Party. Excuse me while I guffaw at the feigned outrage by the progressives/libertarians at FOXNews. FOXNews exhibited the same feigned outrage over female sadomasochistic exhibitionism during last year’s NFL halftime show and this year’s Grammy awards.
Dear Arkansas, you need a better governor. ASAP!
Look what Billary Clinton did to the USA. Is there any possibility Arkansas politics are clean with the likes of them molding it in their image?
It was either crooked enough to produce Juanita Broaddrick’s rapist OR molded that way by the time he was through.
Smarmiest smirkiest most punchable face in America.
Conservatism is not Libertarianism, we are not committed to anything goes, we recognize the value of conserving not just liberty but also limits, societal guardrails if you will. Politicians that cannot bring themselves to defend the well-being of children, that refuse protect them from the worst possible decisions that can be made which are promoted by the worst people one could ever trust one’s children’s futures to, simply aren’t conservatives by any stretch of the imagination.
Squirmiest squirming squirmer I’ve seen in a while….a true RINO
Tucker’s question regarding “corporate” influence on this bill is telling. A pharmaceutical company looking to benefit from chemical castration?
a national agenda led by the radical left progressive movement to apply and control and manipulate state powers using big corporate sponsors.
the end goal isn’t about chimera children.
the end goal is to create and consolidate power in a very tiny small group.
these people HATE individual freedoms…almost as much as they hate GOD and MORAL LIVING!
There really is no radical left
Thats just posing by very wealthy people who push policy that makes them money and gives them power
Soros isnt in this for anything but money and power
And to manipulate dumb people into tying their own nooses
Or just wokesters applying pressure?
Almost as if Tucker knows something, too
Hutchinson may not have spoken with any corporate interests about this, but he probably is aware of how Kristi Noem was pressured by college sporting interests to veto the South Dakota bill prohibiting males from participating in women’s sports. He knows full well that Arkansas corporations are afraid of crossing the woke mob and would rather surrender to it.
The medical and drug industry stand to make billions off sex changes
Courtesy of the taxpayer
And screw up the minds of generations and turn them into handicapped slaves
This rings true Sentient. Cowardice with respect to our so called conservative leaders is probably the biggest reason reason we find ourselves where we are today.
The psychiatrist psychologist sector are among the biggest donors to Democrat politicians
They stand to make billions on sex changes
Along with their multinational drug corporation partners
This is about rich people getting richer
Love watching Tucker rip someone a new arsehole…respectfully of course.
Another conservative whose primary concern is doing nothing that upsets business.
Wait… wut? We’re talking about castrating CHILDREN.
Full stop. End of story. SIGN or GTFOH!
This OBVIOUSLY should have been a 2020 campaign issue, but GOP strategists thought otherwise.
.
I would have liked Tucker Carlson to ask whether, if any given “medical professional” — which could be one of those who every year are found to have commited crimes — thought it was okay, parents in Arkansas could agree to other form of child abuse. I hope Tucker does more on this topic.
I strongly suspect that the gov. was lobbied by parents and “activist” LBGTQ psychs in some of these “currently undergoing” cases. The tell for me was his comment about “expanding” the base.
I also strongly suspect that that the gov. is largely ignoramus on the subject, primarily cares only about his political cred (and was heavily lobbied by the loud perv voices) who gave him his “conservative” talking points.
(I also wish that bills of this kind would more carefully address the — very few — legitimate cases involving treatment of intersex children — which seem to be ignored by conservatives who mostly seem to continue to insist that everyone is clearly either male or female. This is the only legitimate “medical” issue. However rare these kinds of cases may be, I suspect that not addressing them gives the sickos a “foot in the door” to come up with some terrible example and thereby argue with some kind of credibility to people who are used to thinking of “physicians” — which the public has been brainwashed into believing includes psychs and therapists of multifarious kinds — as having “expertise”.)
The governor caved to wealthy medical and drug lobbies who stand to make billions off sex changes
Also the wall street criminals who want a handicapped, screwed up population of slaves
This is less about medical science and more about activism in the psycho-medical arena, the courts, and in the executive departments; specifically the mental health rackets, family and juvenile courts and CPS and HHS departments. There’s a LOT of tragic darkness among those groups. Most people in the business of “mental health” entered that field because they, themselves, are mentally/emotionally unhealthy. The patient should NEVER be the doctor. NEVER. And certainly never those suffering from dysphoria should be responsible for decision making for others about their dysphoria. Legally speaking, we call that a cause for recusal.
I also caught comment “expanding” the base….
Minors shouldn’t be chemically altered. Doesn’t matter who is making the decision.
Thats an easy one.
Would any responsible adult give minors drugs, alcohol? Same goes for hormones.
I really don’t care how much a minor, or their caregiver, wants to introduce chemicals into their system.
Unless it’s for a legit medical issue
Its wrong
We need to protect and guide the young people of America. Not acquiesce to whims formulated amid immaturity and a radical leftist zeitgeist.
Anything less is a gross negligence.
Full stop ahead! You have taken a spotlight on this issue and shined it where it belongs. What happens when a parent’s child starts behaving in ways that confuses or scares the holy bejesus of the parent(s) and forces them to seek outside help? This is not a new issue, even our native American peoples had a term “two spirits” for such people, plus I am sure one can go way back into history and see such a reality where a person “feels” more comfortable being a member opposite to one’s actual gender. However, with “modern” medicine many things are possible…so “let’s try this and see if it works” becomes a new mantra. Dreams can come true. Narcissism is often a very misused term, psychology of the self may be more accurate.
Some people are born with “out of normal” body parts. It is not that far to also say some people are born with “brains” that we do not understand…heck, just how much do we now know about how our brains really work?
And finally, are you or anyone else the same person you were ten years ago? Living one’s life does change one’s perspective. Not everyone is Bruce Jenner (thank god for that!), but when the tail wags the dog…
Then again, if we, as a society, advances “abortion” why stop there? Let’s take those left alive and mess with them too!
No one should be chemically altered unless as part of their treatment program there isjust no other other recourse and the families understand this is NOT a cure or even much of a treatment.
The families need to know that this will not make their family member “normal” if that is what they are hoping for.
Modern drugs can work wonderfully but it is a brand new type of treatment which has a lot of hope for so many families that have lived without hope for decades and it is also are very new and inexperienced plan for so many mental diseases that we just do not know much about yet.
Skipping puberty irreversibly harms the psyche, the mind, and the body.
The harvest will be bitter.
“Would any responsible adult give minors drugs [?] …”
That made me think about the fact that we have many parents right now volunteering to give theie children an experimental unapproved gene therapy for a disease that doesn’t affect them!
Gov. Hutchinson and his moral high ground hogwash that it is fine for innocent children to be chemically mutilated!
He should be hung in the town square for all to view while being mutilated.
Saw it claimed tonite that Asa signed a law banning female genital mutilation. That doesn’t exactly square with what he said on Tucker
.
Another point I would like to plead with conservatives to remember. I think it’s important because the confusion has only aided the LGBTQ crazies to gain ground.
Remember when the terminology was “transexual”? Now it’s “transgender” — because it’s crystal clear that “sex” cannot be changed no matter how much someone mutilates his or her body.
“Sex” refers to the biological role that the individual plays in reproduction, or otherwise would play, barring age, injury, medical issue, or intersex abnormality.
People don’t have “genders”!!!!
“Gender” is not a synonym for “sex”. Things have “genders”, but people do not have “genders”. People are one of two sexes, or else intersexed. “Gender” is about the usually artificial or, at best, stereotypical, categorization of certain words, ideas, abilities, and things as being either “feminine” (associated with the female sex), or “masculine” (associated with the male sex).
The distinction is critical. Understanding the language usage also gives you a way to thwart anyone’s gender nonsense. E.g. pronouns refer to a person’s sex, not his or her nonexistent “gender”. You cannot change “genders” because people don’t have “genders”. You cannot invent a “gender” because there are only three — male, female and neuter.
Hutchinson’s eyes are as squinty as Biden’s.
And his mouth is a reptilian slit albeit Jokerish.
I noticed that “passive aggressive” smile the gov kept offering to the camera…well practiced I suppose but it suggested to me a phoniness to which I should be prepared to the max for some serious bs coming out of his mouth. A real serious person would demand such “treatments” be presented to the public and debate should be more than rigorous prior to the current definitive judgement a “law” may create. Abortion is final, so is chemical castration only the person has to live with such a decision for the remainder of one’s life…is it no wonder that suicide rates are high for such a group of people?
Yes he does and that should tell us all we need know.
ass hutch IS the textbook example of exactly HOW governors around this country promoted unscientific and in some cases demonstrably false mitigation and vaccines programs….while at the same time ignoring precautionary principles.
for this jackwagon to repeat “listen to physicians”….is unnerving and insulting to the intelligence of arkansas and the people who live there.
here IS the reality…tucker is right..the science is very stable on the risks of chemical castrattions. no child and no parent should be involved in or condoning any kind of monster experimentation. Doctors WHO DO perform reasonable hormonal treatment are doing so, and should do so, and ARE NOT LIMITED by this bill, to treat illness, real health issues,
asss hutch has conflated sex reassortment and chemical castration into a normal standard SAFE medical protocols.
ASS can say he has not spoken to any corp with an interest either way.
but he most certainly has talked to “physicians” who HAVE MASSIVE ties to major political and QERTYxyzmnop sexual perverts who just love to mob the political actors, funnel some real money around and set the agenda.
fact is, in arkansas the number of actual children who are doing this, who want it, are a rounding error to zero in the big picture. the bill proposes to defend against the tyranny of the state TO ALLOW chemical castration when the evidence is damned clear the science is pretty clear at this point: do not do it!
and one more thing…if ASS HUTCH is so concerned about the OVERBROAD state power, then why didn’t he propose a line item veto or make some concessions….
nope he vetoed the entire thing…carte blanche.
this is the red flag arkansas…no matter how you may have felt about ass hutch….he has a private financial agenda.
he no more cares about children and physician care and a limit to state power, as killer cuck has about seniors at risk.
it’s the same thing…same exact thing.
arkansas….kick this guy to the curb.
walmart….take note…your man is going to fail..and fail big.
Truth
That fact that Asa Hutchinson, 1.)is Guvn’r of Arkansas, you know, Hill and Bilary’s old stomping ground gives me pause. 2.) He sounds like Fauci or a Nazi in Germany, “let us proceed with the experiment. 3.) How much money does the Arkansas Big Pharma make from these drugs, do they go through the Mena Airport, as well and 4). how much $$$ is attached to the organ harvesting operation if someone decides to give up their sex organs? Let us ask “Cousin It” Levine that question.
For me, a child or teenager is not capable of making decisions about their sexuality until the years of the raging hormones have passed. Not sure when mine stopped raging, but this sounds like another Bill and Melinda Gates Operation to REDUCE the Surplus Population. A VERY BAD SEED has been sown “by someone” with the very idea of sex change. It’s just too forking sad that more than a few have decided to board that bus.
“They’re not old enough to have sex but they’re old enough to be chemically castrated. How does that work exactly? I’ll listen as you explain.”
Hahaha!!!! Solid gold!
Hutchinson is a fool fooling no one.
When that subject is brought up to my husband he really loses it and I mean loses it.
There are now world tto espress the anger he feels for the small boys who are castrated at a young age who have NO ONE to protect them from this vile process.
We run cows and eveyr year castrate our small male cows and even this bother shim a bit , the old softie.
But he knows it must be done even for the sake of the young bull cows.
But small human boys are not animals and that makes all the difference in the world.
Sarah Sanders will be a big improvement over this spineless flagellum.
Oh a LIGHT at the END of The Tunnel. THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER re Sarah Sanders. I no longer feel forsaken! Thank you Magabear.
WE will try and get some money to her next week.
The country is not being run by the American people. It’s all an illusion that we vote for folks who are supposed to represent us.
Big business runs this country.
And don’t forget it.
There……………fixed if for you ………………..you silly Americans with your quaint ideas of self government. It’s so yesterday.
Gender reassignment is a maddening and abnormal topic. Who are the groups pushing this insanity in red and blue states? What do they want? What’s in it for them?
Legalizing child sex trafficking; legalizing marijuana was only a start now they want to remove the laws and stigmas that surround adult-child sexual relationships. These people, and we can determine who they actually are, are vicious, evil and satanic. They and their movement must be stopped at all costs.
I have read it is very profitable for Big Pharma and the Doctors who specialize in it.
It is
The ones who make the most are the completely corrupt psychology and psychiatry lobby
These trades attract psychopaths
That AssA dude is so slimy.
Hes just oozing slime.
I’m more skeptical than Tucker…
In fact, I’ll say it outright: Hutchinson’s been bought off or threatened by the trans-lobby or the pharma-tech-oligarchs that pull all the strings.
Like Justice Roberts…someone has the goods on the Governor.
Hmmm…… there’s some hostility toward Tucker here.
Nowhere as bad as that directed at Coulter but in the same direction.
Both actually support Trump 80%, it’s time to grow up and understand that marching in step has never been the American way outside of organised religion.
We need these very effective intellects communicating and slaying the left. Both do that very well.
I HAD TO STOP………….SOMEBODY CHECK AND SEE IF THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND CROOKED DOCTORS ARE GIVING MONEY TO THIS MONSTER.
Note to self:
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
OK I’m back
Fake Conservative monster alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEDO. CHILD ABUSER. CHILD CASTRATOR. CHECK THE RECORD ON IF DOMINION, BALLOT HARVESTING AND OTHER DISASTERS ARE GOING ON IN ARKANSAS, THE STATE THAT GAVE US BILLARY CLINTON, THE OTHER CHILD RAPING MONSTERS OF ALL TIME
LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF CASES OF GENDER REASSIGNMENT OF KIDS AND WHY THEY STOPPED THIS MONSTROUS PRACTICE BEFORE THE EVIL SATANIC LEFT TOOK CONTROL OF MEDICINE (same as our other institutions you pathetic crooked RINO fraud)
OBVIOUSLY … it is not science based to create a trend to confuse and abuse children when they are still too young for coherent life choices
Boys brains don’t even stop GROWING until age 25 you satanic beast
When a parent tries to hormone block their kids THEY ARE CHILD ABUSERS, THAT’S THE SIGN SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS TO SAVE THEM, NOT HELP THEM FIND A GHOUL FOR PROFIT LGBT DRAG FAKE DOCTOR TO DO THEIR DAMAGE
We ALWAYS intervene when parents abuse children, you cretinous monster, do they have a choice to give them crack?
AND WE ALWAYS SHUT DOWN PEDO GROOMING DOCTORS TOO
FAKE DOMINION RINO………………WE HAVE TO FIX OUR ELECTIONS
Clearly the Clinton Machine has stolen legitimate voting there too
Amazing how he doesn’t want government overreach…the same man who issued an unconstitutional mask mandate. Americans have no representation. Extortion, lies, murder, treason…they have committed so many crimes and never been held accountable. Our once great nation has become the laughingstock of the world!
Yep, that tells you he has no problem with government oppression.
So once again conservatives take a demented, lunatic idea from the left and laboriously treat it as if it is a complicated issue – a “dilemna” – deserving their serious attention, careful parsing over what some study concludes about what is complete insanity.
Beyond firing up wood chippers into which the parents, doctors, pharmaceuticals execs, and activists are tossed without comment or further thought, for working to normalize the brutalization and mutilation of children, there really is nothing else that needs to be said or done about it. Five seconds thinking about the issue is 5 seconds wasted.
It really isn’t complicated people.
Next time you have people insist you particpate in and consent to mutilating children “because of the science”, just think of the wood-chippers going full blast and move on.
There is a part of me that really likes the presentation you made.
From abortion to “let’s mess with the bodies of these kids while they are still alive”: Dr. Mengele would jump on board this wagon of child experimentation!
This leads one to ask: Just how many wanna be Dr. Mengeles are now in our medical community?
Hutchinson has been bought off by walmart, tyson, dillard and other big businesses and the political machine of which were backing the no moral clintons.
President Reagan was a man of faith, principles and morales where as hutchins
The corporations are merely handmaidens of the dictators
It is the ones at the top with all the money that control the corporations
The Soroses and the rest
The governor made no sense.
He said he would have signed the bill “IF it allowed “surgical castration” for children.
Then he went on to say he was for the “chemical castration” of children.
If a child cannot say he wants a tattoo, to drive or drink, then a child cannot demand a sex change. At 18 years old age – have at it just don’t expect the rest of us to pay for it.
BOTH surgical and chemical castration permanently make the majority of children STERILE FOR LIFE.
There is no going back even if the child at 18 or older changes his (or her) mind.
For boys given female hormones before puberty – their penis is permanently 2″ long FOR LIFE This is what happened to that Jazz guy. He was 17 year old wanting the doctor to create a vagina for him but the doctor told him ON TV that the hormones made his penis 2″ and therefore it too small to turn into a vagina and a vaginal canal. The doc told him they could use a piece of colon or something else. What would have happened if this Jazz 17 year old wanted to stay a male after his parents allowed him to take female hormones since age 11 or so??? How can a 17 year old and older man live a normal life with a 2″ penis?
Girls trying to be boys given hormones will have permanently DEEP voices and other male features. If a girl reaches age 18 and wants to stay a girl….good luck with that.
My skin is crawling. These reptiles supporting this horrid movement are nothing more than insane deranged sickos.
Scientific FACT: XX and XY chromosomes will NEVER change. Whatever chromosomes XX or XY someone is born with, they will die with and nothing will change that.
Someone can cut off their sexual organs, take hormones and wish with all their might to be the opposite sex but that won’t change their chromosomes from XX into XY or XY into XX.
Transgenders need to stop trying to force everyone to believe in their fantasy and accept reality.
There’s the rub, so to speak, of the modern sexual perversions, forcing others to play along is the thrill.
Another piece of shit politician.
This is disheartening. Here’s a long time republican, respected leader, obviously intelligent and caring man, who is unable to resist the latest socio-psychological fad insisting sexual identity is a spectrum of possibilities and that parents and professionals can discern that a small child is not what he appears on the surface and massive medical intervention must be imposed to facilitate expression of the child’s true sexual identity.
This is so misguided on so many levels that it makes one weep for what has become of our once-great society. The fields of sociology and psychology have always been failures, more a collection of intellectual rubbish with no real understanding of human behavior separable from leftist politics. The idea anyone from these fields, accompanied by arrogant and hubristic medical professionals, masters of the world for having survived the medical education process, could all talk themselves into the idea that they are doing good by medically manipulating vulnerable, trusting, innocent children just takes one’s breath away.
The worst part of it all, off the scale really, are the parents, these people who are so blinkered, so lacking in judgement, so soft-minded, that they would force the community, through government, to intrude into an area where most want government excluded. What kind of parent inflicts such intervention on a child, what kind of counselors advise and encourage parents to do this, and what kind of medical professional would lend his skills to “convert,” actually experiment upon, a child based on the presumption that parents and counselors can discern future adult sexual preference?
There is no decades-long history of incremental, carefully considered, well-documented interventions here. This is a just a head-long dash into the future, based on the memories of dissatisfied youth and a heart-breaking record of suicides, but also an environment in which memories are molded in a fetishized, hyper-political frame encouraging sexual non-conformity for purpose of fostering inclusiveness in pursuit of social justice. It can’t be resisted, even in the name of protecting children, because doing so is heretical to social justice theology. And so the stupid, the gutless, and how does one even describe doctors engaging this, may as well be tossing children onto a burning heap of wood to dispel the evil of normalcy.
There is simply no word to describe my disgust for this entire enterprise. And that a *leader* lacks the wisdom, the courage, the simple common sense to see through all the nonsense and to instead use his position to impede these fools is just … too much. I truly wish I could get off the ride because, while I can stand the normal political insanity, I can’t when it comes to kids. I just can’t.
I get there’s kids out there with very tough psychological issues driving some to take their lives. But, the right approach is spending time, listening, encouraging, loving, and letting them figure out their path forward, without drugs and procedures and without a bunch of sexuality-obsessed counselors sweet-talking them into radical and irreversible actiins.
And, finally, let us say that a medical profession would countenance this nonsense, let alone encourage it, while at the same time refuse citizens access to telatively harmless hydroxychloroquine while it watches 600k citizens die, says nearly everything that needs to said. First do no harm, indeed.
You write very well. Not just structurally. I read a lot. I would say I am not a very good reader.
But my wife who majored in English literature says I read difficult stuff with ease. I don’t think
I do. The truth is, I like to read stuff written a certain way . I can’t explain it but I really like the way you write.
I really like the way Sundance writes as well.
Beautifully said. Thank you.
Dr. Mengele will see your child now. Funny how that lgbt flag’s colors remind me of Jesse Jackson’s rainbow flag of some decades back. Abortion numbers in the black community are the highest, right? Is there a connection, even if abstract?
Right around the corner is the selection of the gender of your unborn child…don’t want a girl–get rid of that now!
If this is not the pure definition of malignant narcissism (beyond Obama’s utter being), I don’t know what is!
If he would have been against the legislation for his stated reason, I could give him the benefit of the doubt. Everyone knows the dirty truth, he was against it because Walmart told him to be against it.
Tucker asked the wrong question — “have YOU TALKED TO” corporations about the bill? The gov says “no.”
The next question: have they TALKED TO OR COMMUNICATED WITH YOU?”
Chiming in: Transgenderism is not healthy. Chemical and or physical castration, puberty blockers, etc., in my opinion are CHILD ABUSE. Anyone who supports this, in my opinion, worships Satan. I feel that strongly about it. ADULTS can do whatever they damn well please – heaven or hell is a choice. Leave the children alone! It makes me sick at my stomach that these things are even considered and that children are not protected at all costs. This Governor is a chicken shxt political animal afraid of the mob, in my opinion.
If we can’t protect innocent children then what good is our society anyway. Anyone who is for this is not on the side of God.
I am already against this type of surgery ….in fact any non essential surgery for children period! All children try to analize their own sexuality as they grow up, but that does not make them the opposite gender… just inquisitive.
What I think the most compelling part Tuckers argument (and the most convincing) is that children cannot drive, drink, have tattoos etc…… at the same age they can have non reversible voluntary surgery…..
I would suggest that banning all surgery for anyone until they are an adult is the only way to go………Oh how our opinions change as we get older…..but there is no changing most of these procedures!
It is absurd to theorize that a pre-pubescent child can competently assess this situation, and come to a conclusion that “transitioning” is a reasonable choice. The plain fact is that nobody can ever transition from one sex to another. One can only mimic or pantomime the opposite sex an achievement far more suitable to cosmetic changes rather than medical procedures. Medical “treatments” likewise cannot in any way achieve a transformation to the opposite sex, so what can their purpose be? It can only be to humor a profound confusion in an unaterubale way. Like suicide, it recommends a permanent solution to a transitory problem. In what area of medicine, politics, morality, psychiatry, common sense is this approach recommended?
Consider, one sex cannot accurately inhabit the circumstance of being its opposite. This is an act of pure imagination based on a conjecture on what it is to be the opposite sex. Pre-pubescent children, possessing no experience in sex, sexual relationships, procreation, child-rearing, etc. are by definition not qualified to make such a choice on zero information except that supplied by the internet. Strangers with no personal investment and a political agenda (or worse) purport to advise complete strangers to harm themselves as a cure for a condition that is imaginary. How is this reasonable?
I understand the governor’s rational. Government has overstepped their jurisdiction in most aspects of our lives, and while children do need protection, that’s what they have parents, to guide and make the right decisions for them. I know there are crazy, irresponsible parents who will sacrifice their child’s well being for their glory but where is the fine line between patent rights and government infringement of those rights? What bothers me is doctor’s violating their oath to do no harm for monetary gain. This is beyond reprehensible.
Keep in mind Socrates was given hemlock to end his life because others didn’t like his reasoning, his probing questions, his natural intellect. Then follow over to the world of Nazi Dr. Mengele and his work. Place in the middle of those two thoughts the act of abortion (which has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years). Psst….here comes Darwin to have a chat with you.
Now what?
Hutchinson’s job is to avoid any impedance of the cultural Marxist agenda against humankind. That’s your GOP. . . . But at least he’s “conservative.” Lol
Just another case of a conservative not standing for anything. A majority in his state definitively made a decision and he punted. Is there anyone out there who believes Donald Trump would not have vetoed this?
Conservatives punt on immigration to appease liberals and lose; Trump comes in and builds a wall like the 70/30 majority wants him to and he wins in a landslide. Stand for something a majority of people agree with for once, dummies.
Too young to choose bedtime or diet or whether to go to school, but can “choose” gender via the actions of mentally deficient parents.
Absolutely insane and the fact that this is even an issue shows how very far down the tubes this idiocracy has gone.
It’s appalling that this treatment is being forced on children and that a GOP governor is fine with it. When he said 200 kids in Arkansas alone are undergoing this treatment, I was shocked. I can see how this goes in a typical situation: kid is depressed, parents and “medical professionals” say it’s gender dysphoria and push kids into dangerous, irreversible treatment. Of course doctors want it to continue-they make money off of it.
Luckily, looks like the AR legislature overrode mush brain Hutchinson’s veto and passed the law anyway.
Re watch that video and stay focused on the governor’s smile…ask yourself how one goes about creating that type of smile on a constant basis, then ask yourself what is hiding behind that smile, especially when it seems out of place?
Look around you at other politicians and see their smiles…ever wonder where the truth lies, where truth is founded upon real debatable facts, not just “your truths” but those truths that can’t be refuted…2 plus 2 equals 4, for example.
Risk is a constant in life. What kind of a truly loving parent would risk the child’s procreative future by making such a decision to negate that possibility because a kid says he does not like being who he/she thinks she/he is?
Sure, not every parent turns out to be a “good” parent, many are truly bad and a few are just evil. But kids…they are in fact innocent, are they not?
Why do you want to damage in such a way the innocent? Why? And why do others wish to join you in such a quest?
