I recently ran across a disturbing story about Planned Parenthood’s new role as gender clinic, presumably written by someone who worked at one. Since anonymous exposes of PP are often unreliable, I’m not sure the account is true — though PP does hand out hormones.
What particularly struck me though was a description of how the mostly female, mostly young, patients who came in for their first shots would arrive: in a group. The girls who were seeking injections of testosterone would bring their girlfriends for support — and the atmosphere was celebratory. It resembled girls getting their ears pierced. Bring your giggling friends, and afterwards all go shopping and buy earrings. A rite of passage.
It is Buscemi, it’s a popular meme. It’s taken from a scene in ‘30 Rock’ where the character spectacularly fails at passing for a teenager, and is generally used to indicate someone is trying to pretend they’re younger and hipper than they are. Looks like it’s meant to be a criticism of genderdoc.
Re #6, you have to click on the photo to see the whole thing, and there is a bit more text. It reads “My commute Every morning To yeet the Teets”. Looks like a selfie in a hospital elevator. I suspect posting selfies from one’s “commute” on social media is a popular practice among young people.
Cosmetic surgeons remove healthy tissue without medical necessity all the time. Hopefully with informed consent, something that is very much lacking in these “gender affirming” surgeries.
The trans advocates are going to claim it’s medical necessity. This is what I’m hearing from people arguing against a bill in Alabama that would ban doctors from performing these kinds of operations on minors, that the bill would ban “treatment of trans teenagers”.
It seems that we’ve lost the cultural memory that, once upon a time, ‘professions’ forbade advertising. The assumption was that qualifying standards were high enough that commercial competition would erode professional conduct. Well Q.E.D.
JtD, that also goes along with the extreme increase in the cost of medicine, particularly drugs, since much of the revenue stream now goes to advertising.
Sastra, This is probably the article you mean. Abigail Shrier, author of the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, spoke with a former employee of PP.
That guy in the picture coupled with “it me” looks like Steve Buscemi.

These ads remind me of that story. Same attitude.

And I thought the photo of a doctor hoisting a plastic bucket labeled “breast tissue” in his hand was bad.
Ugh.
Thanks, Sastra. I wasn’t familiar with that one, or the meme.
What’s the point of the “My commute every day” photo? Is that a reference to something?
Aren’t there long standing medical ethics, and even laws, against removing healthy tissue without medical necessity?

Here’s the scene
@#8 So that’s a picture posted by Dr. Teetus Deletus, not by Grace?
Re #11
Yes, both images are from Dr TD’s TikTok page.
She looks so happy. Without a care in the world. And maybe also trying to be alluring, in the photo about post-surgery feelings of sadness (!).
