"In Iran, gay men and lesbians can be punished by public flogging and the death penalty."

"As a result, the United Nations Human Rights Council found, many gay and lesbian Iranians who are not trans are 'pressured into undergoing gender reassignment surgery without their free consent.'... Sam, 32, a trans man from Orange County, Calif., is currently in Tehran to pursue a hysterectomy and metoidioplasty, a kind of penis-construction surgery. Requesting anonymity to discuss a sensitive medical procedure, he said he was drawn to Iran because he believed the doctors there were 'more confident' than those in the United States.... Iran’s experience with transition surgery stems from a fatwa issued in the 1980s by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founding supreme leader of the Islamic republic, who declared that transgender individuals could gain legal recognition of the gender with which they identified, but only on the condition that they underwent transition surgery."

From "Iran Lures Transgender Foreigners for Surgery but Forces Operations on Locals/Iran became a pioneer in gender transition operations by forcing procedures on L.G.B.T.Q. Iranians. Desperate for cash, the Islamic republic is hoping to attract trans patients from around the world" (NYT)(free-access link).

Have they no sense of right and wrong? Put aside the fact that Iran will use the money to support terror around the world. Any doctor who performs such surgery on patients over their objections deserves to be shot. One would think there would be some sense of solidarity with fellow members of the lgbt+ community.

"Any doctor who performs such surgery on patients over their objections deserves to be shot. One would think there would be some sense of solidarity with fellow members of the lgbt+ community."

That assumes there is one unitary LGBT+ community. Which is useful politically but is not true. Andrew Sullivan has been complaining for years that a lot of trans stuff erases gay people. J.K. Rowling (not gay herself) says that all women, gay or straight, are hurt by being forced to interact with "people with dicks" who say they are women. A number of non-straight women agree with her. "I'm a lesbian. Don't try to shame me for not dating trans women."

The "urologist" in the first photo is a great picture. Excessively unbottoned shirt, loud suit, giant ring, fancy watch, and wearing sunglasses indoors. It's a fantastic photo. He could be the leader of some organized crime organization rather than a surgeon.

jim5301, absolutely, with regard to ethics. Roger Sweeney's comment (which was certainly correct but not all that relevant to what you were talking about - see also Douglas Murray on how "LGBTQ" got lumped together despite none of the individual letters really having much common cause with the others or even getting along very well) notwithstanding, I'm happy that we share this principle.

Gender refers to sex-correlated attributes (e.g. sexual orientation): masculine and feminine. Trans indicates a state or process of divergence. The transgender spectrum includes homosexuals and simulants.

Transitioning occurs with corruption through surgical, medical, and [psychiatric] grooming. Homos presumably transition some time after conception through environmental corruption in the womb and later. Sims also transition through surgical and medical corruption in liberal cultures where there is caring for lifelong profit. Homosexuals are bigendered with a hetero fetish and some transition through surgical and medical corruption to affirm this.

n.n ayon kay ...

The effort by homos and aligned persons to socially distance from sims is because of pervasive Diversity and the Pro-Choice religious dissonance of political congruence ("=") in progressive sects. Similar to the use of fetus "=" baby, when a life is deemed unworthy of life, a "burden". The problem for sins is when they are transsocial, particularly when they mimic the feminine gender, which poses a clear and progressive risk to women and girls. #HateLovesAbortion

Mamdani is a NYZI. Is he a Diversitist, too? Does he entertain abortive ideation to relieve "burdens"? He clearly supports redistributive change.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

Mamdani is Islamic and a Communist, a rare twofer.

In our Bible's Old Testament, one of the Commandments is that we can't eat shellfish (Jesus wiped that one away). Another commandment is that selling food for profit is immoral. And that charging interest is immoral.

In my Bible study one time, I had a priest tell us that we had really gotten away from the Bible when we started charging interest. And I was like, "But you can't get a house without a mortgage. Charging interest has made us all richer, and given us homes. Making it illegal to charge interest, it's like Communism, you impoverish the whole society."

It's interesting to think about what's causing this problem. No doubt Moses (if it was Moses, scholars debate that) prayed to the Lord, and it was revealed to him that charging interest is dangerous, because it makes people greedy. It's a money-making scheme, right? We all agree on that. And Moses, like Islam today, and Marxists, all want to wipe out greed.

And what happens, when you attempt to punish people for their spiritual sins, and lock them in cages for violating your interpretation of God's laws? You impoverish everybody, and make it hell on earth. That's why Islamic societies and Marxists societies are often rotten places to live. The urge to punish spiritual sins and control people for God (or "humanity") can be demonic. The Lord, after all, gives us free will.

My grandfather, a pretty strict Baptist (in fourth grade I made a mistake of calling my little brother a "fool," and I thought that was a PG word, I was watching my mouth, trying to avoid "shithead" or "stupid fucker," and boy oh boy did my grandparents flip out over "fool"), owned a grocery store. My granddad charged people money to buy food. Was it a sin? No! People got to eat! I am sure that was his conclusion.

Moses was giving a commandment for an agrarian society where farmers have surplus food. And his point was that you should give it away. And so you should! Where the evil pops in is when authorities, whose love of power can often be demonic, start locking up anybody for selling food for profit.

God tells us that we ought to give away our possessions, out of love. Satan grabs our possessions and tells us how evil we are for having them.
