Trump falsely claims

Is a complete statement, and is true on a daily basis. Usually multiple times a day.

Its ridiculous, my British uncle is convinced Critical Race Theory is tour is in school. I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn’t know. People are being lied to and then they tie it to ego and become talking heads for shit they have no idea of beyond surface level.

I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn’t know.

Same thing happens when you ask someone complaining about “the woke” what that word actually means. Blank stare and no coherent answer.

Imagine getting free surgery of any kind in the U.S. That’s how you know this is a false claim.

Somehow you get socialized medicine if you want gender reassignment surgery and you’re a child.

You can get all the free surgery you want in the US. You just have to join the military.

What was that thing he said the other day that was factual and true? I forget…

He finally admitted he lost the 2020 election…

Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?

It’s just such an obvious and outrageous lie. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

Also, if it was happening, wouldn’t the parents be the ones complaining? I mean, wouldn’t the parents be famous right now? They’d be on all the talk shows making the news circuit.

If this actually happened, the parents’ names would be famous. Trump would be parading these people around.

One of my daughter’s best friends is trans. I told my daughter that maybe he’ll get lucky and the school nurse will construct a penis for him.

It’s a joke. The concept that the school nurse would give him bottom surgery is ludicrous.

(Are people thinking that her friend is a trans GIRL? Because he’s a boy who was AFAB.)

RagingRobot ,

Also what benefits should the underfunded school system have for giving out expensive surgeries for free? What do they stand to gain from that?

The schools get newly indoctrinated woke soldiers. /s

I went to the school nurse with a 103 fever and the nurse told me to lay down and offered me an ice pack. MFs can’t even give you Tylenol. You think they’re arranging free surgery? The only other tool they have is bandaids

ThePantser ,
@ThePantser@lemmy.world avatar

They don’t even have bandaids most of the time because “somebody” cut funding to the bone.

5oap10116 ,

Even worse…they have the cheap plastic ones that don’t flex or stick.

Damn and to think there’s all these lazy trans people saying it’s too expensive to afford surgery when they didn’t just get their free one at school. Slackers honestly.

Stay in school, (trans) kids!

WoodScientist ,

Shit. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that surgery? When I got it, insurance didn’t cover it. I had to fly to Thailand to afford it. Even with going overseas it was still about $18k USD including flights and everything. And that was in 2013 dollars. I worked my ass off to afford that. And that’s to say nothing of the endless psych evals, therapist letters, and myriad other hoops you have to jump through. It is NOT something you can just stumble into, even if you had an unlimited budget behind you.

And I’ll tell you, I was pretty young looking for my age. A bit into transition I was once walking down the street in the middle of the day on a weekday, and I literally had a cop stop me, thinking I was a high school student playing hookie from school. Meanwhile I was 24, having recently finished a masters degree.

My point is…if you could just walk into a high school and get surgery covered like that, and done no questions asked? I would have legitimately become one of those weirdos who fakes being a teenager and enrolls in a high school in their twenties. I probably could have pulled it off. I would have claimed to be a homeless kid, enrolled in a local high school, got the surgery, and then disappeared again. Compared to what I did go through to get it, that would be child’s play.

Of course, idiots like Trump don’t even realize how involved that surgery is. This is not some outpatient procedure you do in the morning and are up on your feet in the afternoon. Plan a month off of work. That’s what it realistically involves. Then imagine paying for it and finding a way to arrange such an extended absence from the very job that allows you to afford it, all while also paying your regular bills and keeping a roof over your head.

For those who need it, gender reassignment surgery is literally life-saving. I can say that from personal experience. But to see ignorant fools like Trump make light of a thing that you had to work so hard to get?..I do not have the words to express it.

Who is doing the operations, Don? The school nurse with the cafeteria staff handing them scalpels and shit?? Band teacher anesthesiologist. OK I’m done.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That’s quite a step up from school nurse when I was a kid. You’d come in there bleeding to death and she’d give you a Tylenol and send you back to class.

thefartographer ,

Wow, that’s quite a step up from school nurses here. We can’t even give kids any medication that wasn’t provided, with a prescription, by the parents.

Tylenol? Nope. You get a bag of ice wrapped in a paper towel, a large bathroom to vomit in, a thermometer, and a napping table with a privacy curtain that almost reaches all the way around it.
