    Common sense is finally being brought back. The extreme measures and manipulation to scare parents into these surgeries was insane. Having a good friend who has a transgender child, he and his wife have also taken a slow approach to transitioning and worked their therapist and Dr.’s to this conclusion. While their child is on blockers etc,, they have held off moving any further.

    Largest children’s hospital in US to open ‘detransition clinic’ after $10M settlement with Trump DOJ, state

    Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a "detransition clinic" after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas.

    The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas' Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for "unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

      Yeah, nothing that is happening in Texas is the result of "common sense."

                That’s why I always first check for a litter box in the cockpit. If there’s no litter box, I know I’m safe on tha plane with that pilot.
                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                  There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                    Wouldn’t a pilot who identifies as a cat be good? You know, how cats always land on their feet. . .

                      I saw the Dems were essentially a No-Show for the recent hearing where women came to speak to legislatures and only 2-Dems showed up and both left within the first hour. Durbin gave a pathetic speech and the other did not. None of them asked a single question or cared what was being said.. Essentially, it was all GOP. I asked Microsoft Pilot to give me a list of articles on this to see who actually cared about this.. This is the list I found..

                      How things have flipped entirely.. I remember the last hearing back in 2023 (On Protecting Women and Title IX) was in full force by Dems. And the level of non-news this is is also disheartening on a national level.
