Bam Bam is worried about his tax dollars going to gender reassignment surgery in his latest hysteria-laden e-blast. He calls it "subsidizing the elective practice of genital 'sex-change' mutilation."

The right wing has been knee-deep in shilling misinformation and twisting facts to frighten people. It's no surprise he wants to fixate on something he believes is fertile ground for generating heat on Obama's health reform. Trans-bashing is easy; I'm sure we'll see more about this, since even he knows trying to ban reproductive freedom at this point is a losing proposition for his crowd.

Gee, a lot of people call circumcision genital mutilation, since it is not medically necessary or medically appropriate, but is commonly covered by health plans. Is Barber against that as well, or is that just a matter of religious freedom subsidized by the taxpayer. Just asking.
