It's my body I shall do what I wish with it or to it. How can it be considered self mutilating surgery when a doctor does it? If so, isn't plain old plastic surgery self mutilation too? If I go get a nose job to make it smaller, part of it will go in the trash can. Unless for reconstructive surgery after accidents isn't it all the same in terms of dysphoria that there is a part of your body that you want changed. I wonder if Sprigg's wife has had Rhinoplasty, liposuction, botox(poison) injections or a butt lift.
B.S. no one in that group cares about my pain or anyone else's, just how much money they can rake in from donors and such.
Rework the whole system of discrimination laws and pass a bill that covers discrimination period, and then enforce it. Not just because you are male, female, feel like one or the other, gay, straight, black, white, yellow, red, brown and for the UFOlogists out there, green or grey. It's just not right to discriminate period for whatever reason. In my younger days playing in a band, I lost jop oportunities for nothing more than being a male with long hair. I know because I was more than qualified for the jobs and had excellent references, just not what they thought I should look like. If discrimination of any kind can be proven and in the information age and computers it can be fairly easy to prove in the way of records, enforce the law to the letter.
I've never understood hate crimes or the definition of it either. Crime is crime. It sort of makes me feel they pander too much for votes. In the case of murder who cares what gender, color, creed and so on. A life was taken, sometimes for nothing other than someone wants to see how it feels. Someone's loved ones will never see them again and the murderer needs to be punished to the maximum extent of the law period.
All of these laws brought to us from the same type of people in political power that run assault weapons across the border and put them in the drug cartel's hands and then later tell me, a law abiding citizen with not even a speeding ticket, that I shouldn't be able to own one.
Lunacy runs amuck.
