Boston Children's Hospital denies performing hysterectomies on minors (and has taken down all its videos on Frankensteinian "gender affirming" surgery), but doing such surgeries on 18-year-olds for no valid medical reason is hardly less of an atrocity. One of the videos BCH took down when it got called out falsely claimed the effects of puberty blockers are reversible. In a sane world these people would be headed for long prison terms; in reality, we can still hope for massive legal action as the Tavistock in the UK is facing.

Thanks for the link! And of course, images from They Live are always welcome.
The pro-bestiality thing is bizarre. Placing it in the context of "queer theory" is deeply offensive to gay and lesbian folk. It is essentially saying their sexual experiences are morally equivalent to shagging a dog. That is the sort of equivalence you'd expect from the likes of Fred Phelps.
Anyway, try this for size...
A leading university has launched an inquiry after it emerged that one of its PhD students has written a research paper about sexual attraction to young boys.
Karl Andersson spent three months recording his thoughts and feelings while masturbating over images of young boys in Japanese comic books.
In the abstract for the paper, Andersson, who is interviewing fans of shota comics for his PhD, said he wanted to “understand how [they] experience sexual pleasure when reading shota”.
His 4,000-word study, which details his sexual habits and sexual encounters between boys in the comics, was published in the journal Qualitative Research in April. It provoked outrage from academics, an MP and others after it was circulated on Twitter this week.
That's Manchester University. Generally seen as a World class research institution.

Not the best roadside assistance. Amazing how that summer squash and that pumpkin go so well together. Greedy pastors are everywhere. The sooner evangelicalism dies, the better. And so much more. Thanks for the shout-out!
"Well, this jackass won't be trying any more rapes."
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. With the invention of the taser, it would be easy enough to do.
Jack: Thanks for the post -- in this case, I guess the image actually was beneficial. :-)
NickM: It is very strange that some people insist on living down to the worst of their enemies' propaganda about them. I imagine most gay people are aghast at this ever-deepening morass of perversion which has glommed on to what used to be their liberation movement, but feel inhibited from speaking out by a misguided feeling of solidarity with "oppressed" sexual minorities.
I heard about the Andersson case somewhere. Gotta give the guy chutzpah points for literally making jacking off his doctoral dissertation, to say nothing of publishing it. I suppose pederastic wanking practices are a topic as worthy of study as any other, but he really should have interviewed a representative sample of shota-kon types if he wanted his results to be taken seriously.
Ricko: Thanks for the posts, as always. I guess it's a sign of the times when even vegetables are sexual and roadside assistance has the IQ of vegetables. Religious leaders sponging off their sheep has long been a norm, but that guy was over-the-top in being so blatant.
Mike: Most people are pretty squeamish about actual mutilation. But I guess if you get angry enough.....
Yes, it is odd. I find especially odd that we go in very short order from the gay movement's big causes being marriage and adoption rights to - basically establishing homosexuality as normal to truly weird shit like that. I do have a feory. Laters for that...
Is it a justifiable area of research? Call me an old STEM-type fogey but my (abandoned for various reasons I won't go into here) PhD was, "The transition from deflagration to detonation in type Ia Supernovae" which I somehow think was of more academic merit than wanking over dodgy Japanese kiddie porn. I suppose I'm just not down with the kids anymore.
interesting about the chimps! go 80-y-o feminists, go mamas, & go sons who appreciate them! I like when blogs at least have an image on their banner - helps to put me in the right frame of mind to read what the blogger has to say. thank you for including my post here!
NickM: I don't think it's really the gay movement promoting pedophilia and trans ideology and animal-shagging, though there may be a few individual activists involved in both. It's more that the gay movement has been very successful in winning acceptance and equality quickly, and so now these other movements are trying to piggyback onto it and claim to be part of the same overall "community". That's why I never use the LGBTQI+XYZWTF etc acronym -- it's "force-teaming", as they call it, joining things together which are actually different and even antithetical to each other.
Supernovae are white supremacist (especially with a Latin plural). Wanking over comic books is more diverse and inclusive. Or something.
Daal: It's amazing how similar chimpanzees are to humans, the more we learn about them.
I always find that an image or two enhances a post, though I couldn't really say why in most cases. Jack apparently has a blogging host that makes it onerously difficult to add images to a post.
I commented on that Twitter thread about Kari Lake that Idiocracy turned out to be prophetic.
Remember those innocent days when we thought Dan Quayle was as bad as it could get?
Amazing round-up! Quite an interesting assortment. I can't believe anyone running for office would be making a speech about BDE...and telling people who don't know what it is to ask their kids about it. Just when you think you've heard as much craziness and stupidity as you thought there is out there...
I thought Republicans were against talking to kids about vulgarities.
Rubio joking about Trump's dick size back in 2016 touched off something of a race to the bottom.
