'The Minneapolis massacre and the progressive profiteers' by Vincent

In the murky waters of today’s medical landscape, a disturbing trend has emerged that deserves our utmost attention.  While the pharmaceutical industry rakes in billions from a cocktail of drugs and procedures, ill-fated children are now caught in the crossfire of an absurd political agenda endorsed by elected leaders in blue states.  With increasing regularity, we hear about the so-called medical necessity of “gender reassignment surgeries” and “hormone replacement therapies” for minors; cloaked under the guise of compassion and care.  As we peel back the layers of this travesty, we will expose the grotesque truth behind it, and the carnage in its wake.  From Minneapolis to Memphis, progressive Democrats stand as the sole purveyors of the evil adolescent experiment.    

The doctors involved in these procedures are cashing in on a lucrative market that puts profit above patient well-being.  It's reprehensible how these so-called medical professionals advertise their services, promising freedom, happiness, and liberation while conveniently omitting the life-altering consequences of their interventions.  The financial incentives are glaring; a single sex-alteration surgery costs tens of thousands of dollars and requires years of follow up care; and when you multiply that by an entire generation of confused adolescents, the numbers become staggering. 
 
Big Pharma doesn’t shy away from reaping benefits here either, as they introduce increasingly expensive puberty blockers and hormone treatments into the marketplace, aimed squarely at lining their pockets.  And for the record, the effects of chemically blocking puberty are devastating on a young child’s mind and body.  The ability for a child to understand the gravity of such a decision must be called into question.  Children going through puberty often think irrationally and emotionally.  They are clearly not able to make irreversible life altering decisions.  Many of these drugs and hormone therapies have been banned for use on children across the globe.

What’s equally appalling is the willful complacency of progressive elected leaders, particularly in blue states, who have legalized child mutilation, throwing caution and common sense to the wind.  These Democrat politicians, quick to wave the LGBTQ+ flag for votes, are deliberately blind to the ramifications of their policies.  In their pursuit of a progressive agenda, they are okay with slashing through traditional values and ethics, condoning practices that would shock even the most liberal of societies just decades ago. 
 
The statistics are there; the rates of regret and mental health disorders post-transition are alarmingly high among those who were guided down this irreversible path.  There’s a direct correlation between chemically and surgically treated children and violence.  Yet, these leaders remain silent, choosing instead to vilify anyone who dares question the prevailing narrative of gender transitioning.  Long-term studies have been conducted in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe, and the findings support a growing body of evidence showing the harm and irreparable damage of these experimental treatments in children seeking to alter their God-given gender.  This includes, but is not limited to stunted growth, loss of bone density, lack of brain function, sterility, permanent facial and body changes, hypotension, blood clots, heart problems, suicide, and a whole list of mental health disorders, too long to list.   

Let's also discuss the role of parents in this tragic theater.  Many seem to have abdicated their responsibility to safeguard their children from harmful medical decisions, placing more value on the fleeting approvals of peers and online communities than the long-term well-being of their children.  In today's society, these parents are often portrayed as allies in their children’s transition journeys, painted as enlightened figures embracing tokenism of their own offspring.  It’s disgraceful that adults can be so easily swayed by social media influencers and activist groups into allowing harmful irreversible changes to their children’s bodies before they’ve even reached young adulthood.

When healthcare becomes entwined with ideological warfare, the stakes are raised to terrifying levels.  Children are not pawns in a political game; they are vulnerable victims searching for guidance from those they are supposed to trust.  Yet, our medical establishments increasingly emphasize affirmation over alternatives and understanding.  This is not medicine, it’s reckless and irresponsible malpractice.  Rather than providing a holistic view of gender identity, which includes the possibility of exploring other avenues, professionals are capitalizing on a dangerous trend that emphasizes immediate intervention.

And here’s the kicker; those who dare to speak out against these practices are met with a vitriolic backlash that reeks of suppression.  Dissenters are labeled transphobic, bigoted, or worse, effectively shutting down any meaningful debate on the issue.  Why?  Because admitting that there could be another side to this coin might threaten the economic flow of billions of dollars generated by surgeries and treatments.  
 
It is imperative that we demand accountability from both the medical community and our elected officials.  We must insist on thorough, long-term studies regarding the physical and psychological effects of these procedures, alongside a call for stringent regulations that ensure children are not being subjected to life-altering surgeries and medications without concrete evidence of their long-term efficacy.  The current trajectory is unsustainable, not only for those suffering in silence post-transition but also for the fabric of our society as a whole.  The latest tragic shooting at the Annunciation Church in Minneapolis is simply another manufactured incident of reckless progressive policy making.  
 
We are responsible for protecting our children, not exploiting them for profit or political gain.  Enlightenment should never come at the cost of innocence, and we must hold the line against a progressive faction that seems all too eager to destroy it.  It is time to reclaim responsibility, stand up against false narratives, and put an end to this horrifying trend before it devours yet another generation.
