A touching tribute to his lost son. I wish that he’d have run for governor. One of the really good guys in Hollywood.

The Medical Insanity Of The “Trans” Movement
A California mother exposes it:
In fewer than 300 days, based on a set of superficial and shifting thoughts about my gender and my “embodiment goals” triggered by the mere mention of “gender” in a form letter from my primary care physician, and driven by what could only be described as minor discomforts, Kaiser Permanente’s esteemed “multi-disciplinary team” of “gender specialists” was willing, with enthusiasm—while ignoring mental health concerns, history of sexual trauma, and rapidly escalating surgical requests—to prescribe life-altering medications and perform surgeries to remove my breasts, uterus, and vagina, close my vaginal opening, and attempt a complex surgery with high failure and complication rates to create a functionless representation of a penis that destroys the integrity of my arm or thigh in the process.
This describes the supposedly meticulous, lengthy, and safety-focused process that a Kaiser patient must undergo to embark on a journey to medically alter their body. No clinician questioned my motivations. No one showed concern that I might be addressing a mental health issue through radical and irreversible interventions that wouldn’t address my amorphous problems. There were no discussions about how these treatments would impact my long-term health, romantic relationships, family, or sex life. I charted the course. The clinicians followed my lead without question. The guiding issue was what I wanted to look like.
No other medical field operates with this level of carelessness and disregard for patient health and welfare. No other medical field addresses issues of self-perception with surgery and labels it “medically necessary.” No other medical field is this disconnected from the reality of the patients it serves.
Kaiser has traded medicine for ideology. It’s far beyond time we stop the ruse of considering “gender-affirming” interventions as anything approaching medical care.
We are living in the Crazy Years.

My lawsuit was just a small part of it.

California’s Falling FOrtunes
The Democrats (including Newsom) continue to take a battle ax to the state.
I fear that with the departure of the sensible, the place is in a political death spiral.
Pain Relief
It’s something that I’ve been fortunate enough to rarely need, but researchers have discovered a promising new compound.
“Trust The Experts”
Why it’s always bad advice. Good for Francis Collins for his honesty, though it’s far too belated.

This seems to be a huge improvement over conventional surgery.

…find a catalog of harm. And that doesn’t even include cardiac issues.
I am not regretting not getting any of the vaccines.
