This gives “they” pronouns a whole new meaning
Ontario’s top court has ruled the province must cover the cost of a penile-sparing vaginoplasty for a transgender resident who does not identify as exclusively female or male and who wishes to have both genitalia.
In a unanimous decision released this week, a three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed a lower court’s ruling that the novel phallus-preserving surgery qualifies as an insured service under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. …
In a letter accompanying the request, her doctor said that because K.S. is “not completely on the ‘feminine’ end of the spectrum” it was important for her to have a vagina while maintaining her penis, adding that the Crane Center for Transgender Surgery in Austin, Tx.,”has an excellent reputation” for gender-affirming surgery, “and especially with these more complicated procedures.”
I have heard of this sort of surgery before, as well as a trend for surgery that obliterates the genitalia entirely.
And yet Canada will kill people who are depressed or disabled.
So why is a Canadian court which supports a Canadian health care system suggesting an American medical facility? (and why should such a surgery be covered by health insurance anyway?)
Gives me yet another reason not to live in Texas.
I guess you can have it both ways
In Canada, the government will underwrite your insanity?
Absolutely insane.
It appears that many of us in the West are subject to the whims of the people who are at the farthest, extreme end of the bell curve.
In addition to new legit immigrants from the UK, Scandinavia, and elsewhere in Europe, it looks like we should also anticipate getting a bunch of refugees from Canada.
Words elude me
Well, I might observe that the story explores the depths of human folly.
The statement of justification seemed like a blow against sanity. Fit to be found in “The Bee”, actually.
That oath is no longer operative.
Surgery? Debauched butchery.
Related insanity…(combined with criminality…)

IMHO this ruling is the ultimate non-ruling, a sacrifice of principle and logic on the altar of madness. After such a ruling how can there be any limiting principle? If I decide I want surgery to remove my (perfectly serviceable) arms and legs and replace them with machinery, all at the taxpayer’s expense, how can anyone refuse my demand?
It is my suspicion that the deluded wannabe hermaphrodite will also become one of Canada’s assisted suicides. That supposed intelligent jurists could reach the conclusion that, not only is undergoing this mutilation-by-surgeon in the best interests of the victim–oops, I mean patient-but the rest of the citizens of The Great White North, a/k/a “America’s Hat” should pay for it, is mind boggling. In the prescient words of John Derbyshire, “We are doomed.”
And (of course) it doesn’t stop there!
Everything decent and normal (!) is now “right-wing”…

The whole ” gender ideology” thing is a mixture of a cult, invasion of the body snatchers ( so many of our fellow citizens have been brainwashed) and the Western Civilization version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
