Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts recently endorsed taking care away from transgender adults, saying in an episode of the PBD podcast that the organization is currently “running the numbers” on the supposed correlation between gender-affirming surgeries and violence. His proposed solution? “You outlaw it.”
“But where there continues to be disagreement is on what you do with adults. At Heritage, we believe that so-called transgender surgery is bad for anybody because of what you saw in Rhode Island yesterday,” Roberts said, referencing the Monday mass shooting that left three people dead, including the shooter, and three others critically injured, all of whom were related to the shooter. Police have described the attack as targeted and domestic in nature.
“There does seem to be a mounting body of evidence that suggests a correlation between that surgery at any age, mental health issues, and increasingly, although we’re running the numbers on this at Heritage, acts of violence,” Roberts added, falsely.
How about they run the numbers on fat cis white guys. Then compare them.
You can really see meal team six’s gravy seals holding the thin crust line here!
By his logic, if one trans person shooting folks should make all trans medicine be banned, the ridiculous amount of white male mass shooters should see all white dudes put into prison camps at birth.
What is “gender-affirming care”?
Anything they want it to be.
I dunno brah, I can’t even define ‘woman’ /s
Are they going to ban balding treatments for cismen too? That’s gender affirming care.
At Heritage, we believe that so-called transgender surgery is bad for anybody because of what you saw in Rhode Island yesterday," Roberts said
He conveniently doesn’t mention that the shooter was also a Trump supporting Nazi.
The mass shootings are all just blending together. Which one was this?
Strong contender for Most Useful Idiot of 2026, there. Hard to see anyone topping that with only ten months left.
I am a cis gender woman.
I just found out one of my prescriptions is for a drug that is also used for gender-affirming care.
It made me so angry. I didn’t know much about that kind of care. It wasn’t my business and didn’t affect me. A patients care is between them and their doctor. Now, that I actually know what is prescribed, I realize how much stupider the whole debate is.
Just let doctors do their job. If a legitimate doctor prescribes a healthy patient something, it’s not any of our god damn business. Leave trans people alone and let them live their lives.
Preventing trans people from physically transitioning isn’t going to make them not trans.
No, but they’re trying to exterminate the groups. Once they’re done genocide-ing the immigrants, they’ll add on the other undesirables. That’s ]why they’re making the camps so big](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/17/ice-holds-people-in-disgusting-conditions-now-its-turning-warehouses-into-camps).
Not surprised, this is the main reason why I never said “Well I guess you should be 18 to transition”, I knew gender affirming care bans were never going to be just for minors.
Trump himself gave up the game when he made 19 the minimum age for federal plans.
Project 2025 creator needs to feel the same type of fear that he is whipping up.
The party of “small Government”
I’ve been shouting from the fucking rooftops They will come after ALL trans healthcare, and indeed all other rights. No one cares. They are mostly totally ignorant of us, so they believe whatever bullshit they read.
Just like the republicans will come, and likely succeed, in overturning Obergefell.
I won’t be able to legally access healthcare, nor will I be able to marry.
Remember, all of our “activism” is because we want special rights, not the same ones that cishet white people take for granted every goddamn day.
Of course he does. He undoubtedly wants to mass-murder trans people, too. Baby steps.
One of the first groups the Nazis targeted even before the night of broken glass were the LGBT. They’re foaming at the mouth with rage about the LGBT, and they operate on a last-hired-first-fired basis. They’ll work their way up to the Ls, Gs, and Bs eventually.
And white liberals will sit on their asses and allow it.
MLK fucking warned us about white “moderates”
Hey, at least he’s not raising their taxes!
They’ll work their way up to the Ls, Gs, and Bs eventually.
That’s all still just parts of phase 1.
This man does not deserve the right to life.
Mind your own fucking business. Why do conservatives want to dictate how people they will never know live?
Viagra is gender-affirming care.
