One of the scariest things about the secular left is the comfort and confidence they have about ramming their views down the throats of people who disagree with them. It’s not that they can beat you in an argument about which worldview is true. They can’t. Their only way to get what they want is by using force. And they don’t hesitate to do that.
A district court ruled Monday that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) violated the First Amendment by attempting to force religious health care workers to provide gender transition procedures.
In 2021, the Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) filed a lawsuit against the EEOC over two mandates requiring religious employers to provide health insurance that covered gender transitions as well as forcing religious physicians to perform sex-change procedures or face charges of discrimination based on gender identity. The District Court of North Dakota ruled in favor of the CEA, arguing that the rules would violate an employer’s or doctor’s religious beliefs.
Who are the big heroes who argued the case? Alliance Defending Freedom, of course:
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which represented CEA, argued that not only did the mandates require employers and doctors to cover and perform sex-change procedures, but it also demanded that they speak positively of them even if they objected, according to the press release.
[…]“By misinterpreting and improperly enforcing federal law, President Biden has far overreached his constitutional authority, to the detriment of people of faith across the country,” Matt Bowman, senior counsel for ADF, said in the press release. “The government cannot force Christian employers to pay for, or physically perform, harmful medical procedures that contradict their religious beliefs. The Constitution protects religious healthcare providers and employers and allows them to go about their work in a manner compatible with their deeply held convictions and faith.”
The EEOC did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Alliance Defending Freedom is a great conservative organization that defends religious liberty and conscience protections. They regularly win cases at the Supreme Court. If you don’t know about the ADF, it’s a great organization to support with your charity budget.
You might be thinking that I’m going to be linking to LifeSiteNews or Lifenews or MercatorNet for this one. After all, the title sounds pretty far-fetched. After all, how could the secular left be so bold as to want to push unproven medical procedures onto children, if there could be such costly side effects? But, today’s article is from the UK Telegraph. Prepare to be shocked.
Leaked emails show other medical professionals admitting that trans patients do not always understand the consequences of gender reassignment.
The cache of files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which sets guidelines that have influenced NHS treatment, show that doctors are carrying out life-changing surgery and prescribing puberty blockers even though they are aware the adults and children may not fully understand the long-term ramifications.
One doctor talked about a transgender person who died of cancer as a result of his hormone treatment.
“I have one transition friend/colleague who, after about eight to 10 years of [testosterone] developed hepatocarcinoma [a form of liver cancer],” the doctor wrote.
“To the best of my knowledge, it was linked to his hormone treatment… it was so advanced that he opted for palliative care and died a couple of months later.”
It’s not clear from the documents if the person who died was made aware or knew about the side effect.
It was a 16-year-old girl:
Another said they would go ahead with a double mastectomy (called “top surgery”) on a 16-year-old girl even though hormones had likely given her liver cancer.
I blogged before about how cavalier the doctors are about giving letters to health insurance companies, explaining that they approve of the need for sex-change drugs and surgery.
The e-mails reveal more:
A gender therapist said they had only turned one person down for treatment in 15 years.
“I have also intervened on behalf of people who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, homeless and got at least an orchiectomy [testicle removal],” they said.
“In the last 15 years, I had to regrettably decline writing only one letter, mainly because the person evaluated was in active psychosis and hallucinated during the assessment session.
“Other than that – nothing – everyone got their assessment letter, insurance approval, and are living (presumably) happily ever after.”
A number of doctors admitted that their patients often did not understand the ramifications of hormone treatment or surgery – such as developing facial hair.
A child psychologist said in a leaked email featured in the report: “[It is] out of their developmental range to understand the extent to which some of these medical interventions are impacting them.
“They’ll say they understand, but then they’ll say something else that makes you think, oh, they didn’t really understand that they are going to have facial hair.”
If you’re wondering why the secular left is so committed to transing children, just because they ask for it, and even though they can’t possible understand the consequences, it’s the money.
Here is a story about one expose reported by Daily Wire:
“It’s a lot of money,” VUMC Clinic for Transgender Health’s Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor said at one Medicine Grand Rounds lecture, video reveals. “These surgeries make a lot of money.”
Taylor noted that a “chest reconstruction” can bring in $40,000 per patient, and someone “just on routine hormone treatment, who I’m only seeing a few times a year, can bring in several thousand dollars … and actually makes money for the hospital.”
Citing the Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery, Taylor said vaginoplasty surgeries can generate $20,000, gushing that it “has to be an underestimate,” since hospital stay, anesthesia, post-op visits, and other add-ons are not included in the total.
“And the female-to-male bottom surgeries, these are huge money makers,” the doctor continued, adding that such surgeries could bring in “up to $100,000” for the hospital.
Some clinics are “entirely” “supported” financially by such phalloplasty surgeries, Taylor boasted.
“These surgeries are labor intensive, there are a lot of follow-ups, they require a lot of our time, and they make money,” she emphasized. “They make money for the hospital.”
If you don’t believe that God exists, then this life is all you have. So, you find ways to justify getting more and more money any which way you can. You’re not out there trying to help people. After all, on the secular leftist view, human beings are just the accidental by products of natural processes that did not have them in mind. There’s no free will. No objective morality. No consequences for moral choices after death. Right and wrong are just “customs” that different societies have developed. They vary by time and place, and none of them is any more valid than cooking customs or dressing customs. It makes a huge difference what people believe. Beliefs are the rails on which they run their lives.
If I asked you to name two dominant characteristics of secular leftists today, what would you say? I would say their morality is “don’t judge” and they don’t like to be held accountable for their poor choices. Usually, the decisions of these secular leftists only costs them in their personal lives. But sometimes, innocent bystanders are the victims.
Let’s start back in 2016, when some Syrian refugees were let into the UK.
Three Syrian men have been cleared of sexually assaulting two schoolgirls in a park.
Mohammed Alfrouh, 20, Omar Badreddin, 18, and Mohammed Allakkoud, 18, of Newcastle, were cleared of all charges at Newcastle Crown Court.
Mr Badreddin was cleared of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old in Leazes Park, Newcastle, in May.
Mr Alfrouh was cleared of three counts of sexual assault and Mr Allakkoud of a single charge of sexual assault.
Pay close attention to that name “Omar Badreddin”. Remember that name.
Here is how the BBC covered the refugees: (archived here)
The text says:
Over the course of 11 months, Newsnight’s Katie Razzall and producer Maria Polachowska chart one family’s journey from a war-ravaged Syrian town to a new life in Newcastle. When their son, Omar, is accused of sexual assault, their nightmare continues. After a three-week trial, Omar was found not guilty.
So this piece was focused on Omar Bahreddin, the guy I told you to remember. And the secular leftists responsible for it are Katie Razzall and Maria Polachowska. The BBC made this documentary to try to put the immigration policy in a good light, and cast blame on those who objected to it.
Now let’s go back to the present day, and we will see the rest of the story.
A grooming gang who repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted a young girl in Newcastle city centre while passing her around “like a toy” have been jailed for a total of 36 years.
Four men sexually exploited a girl when she was aged just 13 and 14 years old. After meeting her one day in Newcastle, brothers Mohamed and Omar Badreddin quickly identified her as someone who could be easily manipulated and she was groomed with alcohol, cigarettes and compliments before being abused.
That’s the same Omar Badreddin who the secular leftists were defending and painting as a victim in their little BBC documentary. These secular leftists were so indoctrinated in “don’t judge” that they wanted to praise the results of the immigration policy. And they wanted to condemn anyone who objected to the immigration policy as “racists”.
The UK is one of the most anti-masculine countries in the world, going all the way back to Minister of Equality Harriet Harman, and her outrageous anti-male policies. In the UK, self-defense has been outlawed. You can be jailed for “hate speech”. Government regularly overrules the authority of fathers. Fathers are routinely ejected from the home, only to be replaced with secular leftist social workers and welfare benefits. The male protector role has been utterly destroyed by feminists. The police and the courts in the UK DO NOT EXIST TO STOP CRIME. They exist to stop moral judgments, spiritual leadership, and acts of self-defense by law-abiding taxpayers against criminals.
You can read the article to find out what the little girl had to say about what happened to her. She describes it as “torture”.
By the way, this is not the only time that UK police and UK judges have gone easy on certain criminals. The police in the UK are constantly ignoring victims of grooming gangs run by men of Middle Eastern origin. I’ve written about it many times; here is one and here is another. Their society is set up to ignore the little girls who are victims of these men.
But that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is that I want everyone to have an accurate understanding of how secular leftists operate. They loudly proclaim the virtue of their “don’t judge” worldview. They think that they are better than you.
By the way, this is how the secular leftists respond to people who are asking them for comments about their puff piece on the Syrian refugees:
Secular Leftists Do Not Like Accountability
Two gay Dads are better than one Dad in a natural marriage
And this isn’t the only time this has happened. It happens a lot. In 2013, I blogged about a case out of Australia, where another secular leftist virtue-signaled about her great tolerance for gay men adopting children born through surrogacy. You can guess what happened to the child next.
The most amazing thing about my post is what the journalist did when she found it and read it. She left a comment saying that her good intentions should have produced good results. She followed her heart, and wasn’t responsible for any harm caused by her actions. She asked me to take the post down, because it made her look bad. No remorse, no accountability, just an attempt to bully me out of judging the results of her actions. “Don’t judge!” she cried.
The silence of the men
Many men today are silent about abortion, no-fault-divorce, single mother welfare, false accusations, biased custody laws, anti-gun laws, daycare, public schools, green energy, black lives matter, transgender indoctrination of kids, etc. Those men have compared the rights of the weak with the sex offered by secular left women, and decided that sex is more important. But one day, I believe that those men are going to change their position and choose to protect the little ones. And no amount of shaming, blaming, make-up and cosmetic surgery is going to deny their birthright as men.
