“So these young men live with surgical changes that they can’t reverse, including the removal of their testicles, the inversion of their penises…”
This testimony should haunt every California legislator who votes yes on @Scott_Wiener’s SB 934.
@drjosephburgo, a gay clinical psychologist, works with detransitioned males who now understand they were gay young men fleeing shame around their homosexuality.
SB 934 will make it dangerous for therapists to help gender-confused young people accept their bodies and avoid hormones and surgeries that can destroy sexual function.
In April, @JonniSkinner, a young gay man, testified against this same bill. In his devastating testimony, he said that after puberty blockers and years of estrogen, he has never experienced an orgasm.
Lawmakers passed it out of committee anyway.
How much testimony will California Democrats ignore before they admit what their cowardice is doing to vulnerable youth?
I would be willing to spend many tax payer dollars to subsidize a program to help fund them on their new ventures... with the caveat that they lose their US citizenship.
This is why they hated Charlie Kirk with all of their being. He never said anything controversial. He simply made them look like idiots and humiliated them at every turn. He was too effective.
Watch how Charlie Kirk engages with a college liberal who says life begins when a baby exits the mother’s womb.
He didn’t yell. He didn’t call her names.
Instead, he asked her a series of critical questions until her argument completely fell apart.
KIRK: “We know deep down it’s wrong to murder a baby.”
STUDENT: “You’re not murdering a baby. It’s not a baby.”
KIRK: “What is it then?”
STUDENT: “It is an embryo, which is not a baby.”
KIRK: “So at what point does it become a baby?”
STUDENT: “When it is born.”
[Crowd groans]
STUDENT: “I don’t agree with abortions up to full-term abortions.”
KIRK: “Hold on. But you said it becomes a baby when it’s born. Then why would you have abortion limits before it’s born? I thought it’s just an embryo. So embryo rights?”
STUDENT: “No, embryo rights aren’t a thing.”
KIRK: “But then where would you draw a line for abortion then? And why? And under what moral standard?”
STUDENT: “There are medical reasons.”
KIRK: “No, that’s not the question.”
STUDENT: “You just asked me why would I not have an abortion full term. For medical reasons.”
KIRK: “Okay, so at 29 weeks, the baby is nearly fully developed, can recognize the mother’s voice, has a heartbeat, has brainwaves. Is it okay to abort that baby?”
STUDENT: “It’s not okay… I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. It’s not okay to have an abortion ever? How about like three weeks in?”
KIRK: “Correct. No abortion. Correct.”
STUDENT: “Why?”
KIRK: “Well, because your life started at conception.”
STUDENT: “It did not, though.”
KIRK: “Well, hold on. So let’s play this out. So who are you as an individual? From your skin color to your eye color, to your likes, your dislikes, from your temperament to your everything.”
STUDENT: “I am not an embryo. I’m a person.”
KIRK: “Hold on a second. But it started with something called deoxyribonucleic acid. And your own individual DNA started at the point of egg and sperm meeting. That’s where your journey started. And so from that point in particular, life begins not at birth, not at first words, not at first steps, but when your DNA [developed], which is who you actually are… That doesn’t happen at eight weeks or 10 weeks. It happens at conception.”
STUDENT: “What happens if you need a medical abortion? If the mother will die if she does not get an abortion? What’s your stance on that?”
KIRK: “The only place where medical abortion is necessary is before 20 weeks, which is incredibly rare.”
STUDENT: “What if she will die? What if the mother will die?”
KIRK: “This is a very important question. Let’s say it’s 27 weeks, okay? And the mother will die… Why don’t we just have the baby delivered by cesarean section? You know what a cesarean section is, right?”
STUDENT: “A C-section.”
KIRK: “Why wouldn’t we just put the baby up by C-section instead of terminating it?”
STUDENT: “Because if the mother will die, it’s not safe to do that.”
KIRK: “But it’s actually safer than an abortion. So every time they say… ‘Oh, you need to have abortion for medical reasons.’ Respond, ‘then have a C-section.’”
STUDENT: “What if you’re not able to have a C-section? What if you are on your deathbed? You need to have an abortion right now?”
KIRK: “First and foremost, C-section is safer, C-section is quicker. And a C-section saves both lives.”
