I just caught a little bit of Dr. Keith Ablow on the Bill O'Reilly show. Unfortunately, I had turned the tv on at 8:36 pm and the Ablow segment was already in progress. He was talking about transgenderism. So if you would like to hear the Dr. Keith Ablow version versus the Megyn Kelly version please tune in to the late version of the O'Reilly show which begins at 11 pm EST. Watch the show from the begining so that you do not miss anything.
Charles Bono is reason enough to start locking up Frankenstien doctors who perform mutilations on psychiatric patients.
I saw him. He was good.
I don’t have t.v. Can you give a recap, or refer me to an internet resource?
Don't you get the sense that there is a big racket behind this? I mean, has this procedure ever been approved by any state legislature? What about the AMA or other doctors professional associations? What do they say about it? If this had been approved by law, then we would have heard debate about it in the media. I think the 101 conservative mailings that I receive at my home would have mentioned any attempt to make this legal, yet I never remember reading anything about bills being passed to approve this monstrosity. When did it become legal and where? If no laws were ever passed allowing this procedure, how did it get past the legislature? Did they look the other way? What about the psychiatrists that are supposed to approve the procedure? Has anyone of them ever said no to a hopeful transsexual? Is there a relationship between the psychiatrists and the doctors who do the procedures? Has there ever been any follow ups both for the physical and psychiatric evaluations for one year, five years, ten years after the procedures? What about the suicide rates after the procedures? What medical insurance plans pay for it? Does medicaid pay for it? Is our tax money used for this in any way?
Yup, Planned Parenthood is involved with it. By the way, did you know there were FIVE genders? Where, on Mars?

Excellent questions. I understand that the surgery alone costs $50,000 and up, depending on where it is done.
Seems like a big racket to me.
I was afraid you would ask. Not that I knew, but it wouldn’t surprise me if somehow the US taypayers is paying to castrate “men” and attach their appendages to “women”.
Or something.
When the kids ask about Chaz, just say that it is a freak.
Hi, I didn’t forget you. I waited to the 11 pm show and here is a breakdown.
Ablow says that this is a campaign to mainstream transsexualism. It is dangerous because people model themselves after each other and Chaz can be a role model to some people who may be having some gender confusion such as a young girl who may be a tom boy and is made to feel that she may be a transgender. He said that we would not invite anorexics or heroin users to appear in the media. He said that Chaz wants people to agree with her decision. Chaz wrote a book in which she said that Marlon Brando’s daughter Cheyenne dressed kind of tomboyish and she (Chaz) could have been on use to Cheyenne. Ablow asked—in what way?
O’Reilly thought this could be useful for discussion with kids. Ablow said that we do not let heroin addicts go on tv to talk about how heroin makes them happy. Transsexuals have a 50% higher mortality rate. It is not healthy. Paul McHugh who was a teacher of Ablow shut down the transsexual department of John Hopkins Hospital (or University?). Ablow resigned from the American Psychiatric Association because of their frequent changing of diagnosis, their support for Obamacare. Gender reassignment is not medically indicated. People model themselves after others and it is a mistake to let kids watch.
I like the short and simple answer. Unfortunately kids are going to be exposed to more of this bizarro world stuff so they need to know there are freaky people in the world.
He thought he was talking about Brad Pitt’s daughter Shiloh.
PLacemark.
Sorry, I was writing down my notes as fast as I could. I was not sure about that one. How old is Shiloh? I thought he had said Cheyenne, so I believed it was Marlon Brando’s daughter. Wait, didn’t Cheyenne commit suicide or something? That was quite a long while back.
Here is the Shiloh story. Isn’t it creepy? Sounds like she wanted to do to Shiloh what her lesbian babysitter did to her.

I think it was something about Cheyenne’s brother Christian shooting and killing Cheyenne’s boyfriend. I think you’re right about the suicide. Sucession of tragedies.
Thanks a bunch. I’ll see if I can find this exchange on the web later.
Bill O’Reilly doesn’t have a core belief of his own; he sways with the wind, and he sided with Megyn Kelly who doesn’t have much of a core either. Both thought it fine that Chaz appear and that it wouldn’t be a bad influence on the younger viewing audience. Dr. Keith Ablow thought otherwise. He’s right, Kelly and O’Reilly, the two Irish equivocators, aren’t.
I’ve always thought of O’Reilly as a bit of a fruitcake, which doesn’t preclude him inviting sane guests to his show by accident on occasion.
