How did she respond?

She said that the office put "transgender" on the new patient form to make transgenders feel included, but of course she knew that biological sex was dimorphic.

To be fair, she was one of the best doctors I've been to - an obviously very intelligent woman - and, as I was spewing facts and figures about how mostly homosexual minors are the ones being sucked into the fad of transitioning, and giving her the details of how disastrous it was to their mental, emotional and physical well-being, I could tell she was processing it.

But then I mentioned that the Biden administration had just changed Title IX back to what Obama had changed it to, i.e., changed the definition of "sex" in Title IX to include "gender identity." This will mean that any US boy at an institution that accepts federal funds (or it might be any school) can self-ID as a female and enter girls' locker rooms/participate in girls' sports, etc.

The minute I criticized Gender Joe Biden, she snapped and said (I'm paraphrasing) "This office is free of politics" and then continued the examination as if I hadn't said a word.

As someone who remembers when Americans could DISCUSS the NUANCES of politics, and often come to some agreements, I am so sick of both sides marching in lockstep with their parties and never stopping to think critically about something as important as turning biology on its head to the detriment of impressionable GAY kids.

Especially when this movement to turn GAY kids into eunuchs is being push under the guise of supporting GAY rights.

A lot of what is holding us back is media conditioning. I do mean conditioning in the literal sense. Democrats are above reproach and unreachable.

I can also see a doctor developing an allergy to discussing politics in her office after how politicized medicine became during Covid.

Oh absolutely. If I didn’t come face to face with the girldick squad, I would be stuck in the morass too. It’s not going to make me a Republican but it’s sure as hell going to get me to think critically about how I’ve come to the political positions I have and whether or not my interests are being represented by the people who I’ve voted for and claim to support my interests.

I would have believed the gynecologist that the office was free of politics had there not been WOKE signs displayed all over it. (I don't know if you're American, but, in the last few years, many Americans have put yard signs up that proclaim how tolerant they are - I call them WOKE signs.)

So she had a kneejerk fear of criticizing Biden. Not at all unusual.

I know exactly which signs you're talking about!

Where I'm from, we say "the bigger the Bible the bigger the sin." I think of that everytime I pass a comfortable two story house with one of those signs out front...

Yes, sometimes people who bang on the loudest about their own virtue who are the biggest offenders. We had a neighbor growing up who donated huge amounts to the church, but I was convinced he was a pedophile.

The people in my neighborhood with the WOKE signs seem to be genuinely good people, however, note how the gender lobby has stuck their propaganda right into the middle of some of the yard signs?

Just like the gender lobby used LGB as sword and shield, they are now Trojan Horsing BLM, etc., to normalize their own outrageous demands.

I think there's a specific reason BLM and trans get lumped together in propaganda.

BLM is every bit as ass backwards about race as the gender movement is about women's rights and sexuality. The rioting destroyed black neighborhoods and has directly led to the highest year-to-year murder rate increase ever recorded in the U.S., almost exclusively of black men killing each other. NPR wants to blame the pandemic. It wasn't the fucking pandemic. It is fallout from the wave of terrorism that their listeners were funding with charitable donations. Violence begets violence. It will take years for the black community to recover from this and many young people will be killed or have their lives ruined.

Do nice upper middle class people care? No.

They are insulated from the destruction. Financing and promoting these domestic terrorists makes them feel like good people. They don't want to know the truth.

I highly recommend investigative reporter Andy Ngo's book about Antifa if you'd like an alternative source on last year's rioting. It's a solid introduction to the roots of their national network in Portland and also goes into how they receive positive media coverage and why. Ngo has built himself up as a muckraker of progressive Democrats, he's conservative (and gay!) so you'll not like his opinions but his information is the best you'll find anywhere.
