Tucker interviews Chris Moritz, an investment banker, on the state of the genital mutilation industry, including a brief partial history of transgender surgeries, and who’s profiting from it.
“I think that there is absolutely zero scientific evidence that would suggest that there is a gene, a chemical alteration, any kind of somatic physical biological element to transgenderism that would result in what has become known as gender dysphoria. And, in fact, if we get deeper into the medical research, we find that there are no clinical studies, none, on the long-term efficacy, consequences, and in many cases debilitating life term effects of these procedures and pharmaceutical products, especially on children.
“In fact, the FDA has not approved a single pharmaceutical product used in gender transition specifically for gender transition.
“There’s a study of out California of 86 vaginoplasty patients, and of those 869, 25% post-op had side effects to the surgery that were so severe that they required additional hospitalization. Of those 25%, 44 had to have major revisional surgery due to bowel injuries, bleeding. Also associated with this particular procedure is total loss of sensation, in other words, sexual functioning. Total loss, irreversible.
“It also includes mastectomies, which are performed at an increasing rate on minors, on girls. The Biden administration has kind of tacitly endorsed genital reconstructive surgery for minors on a case-by-case basis.
“When Obamacare was enacted in 2010, there was a..very quietly written into the law a provision in which insurance companies were mandated to provide coverage for what is named to be ‘medically necessary gender affirming care.’
“As a result of that, between 2010 and 2016, there was a 50% increase in sex reassignment surgeries, 25% increase in insurance coverage for transgender individuals, and then at the very end of the Obama administration, 2016, an additional amendment to the Affordable Care Act was made whereby gender identity could no longer be a basis for a denial of coverage by private insurance companies. As a result of that, the next year, 2016-2017, there was a 150% increase in sex reassignment surgeries in the United States. The Trump administration very early on revoked this provision, and then, of course, the Biden administration put it back in place, I think within the first 100 days.
“Corporate America gets their marching orders from HR departments, HR departments get their marching orders from Universities. We know what the culture and mores are of our ‘elite institutions’, and even these medical associations boards, WPATH included, have strong affiliations with Universities. And why that is? There’s many reasons why. I would argue it’s a kind of extension of postmodernist cultural Marxism. Because, transgenderism, if we’re looking at it philosophically, is ultimately about rejecting what is a foundational philosophical principal in western civilization, which goes back to Aristotle, that there is such a thing as objective and reality.
“The movement demands society recognize that subjective reality as truth, and I feel that that is one of the most disturbing things about this entire movement. They’ve created an entire lexicon. For instance, ‘gender affirming care,’ what does that mean?
“Why are parents agreeing to this?
“Parents are presented, especially at that initial meeting at a gender clinic with a choice. They’ll say your son can either be a daughter, or you can have a dead son. And they’ll scare the hell out of them with statistics about suicide rates and all sorts of other mental illnesses that will suggestively come to fruition if you do not take this course of action. Ironically, in Sweden, which was really a leader in this area of medicine and in this field, a Swedish study a couple of years ago found that post-op transgender patients have a significantly higher likelihood of making suicide attempts and requiring inpatient psychiatric care than the overall general population.”
