Imagine getting free surgery of any kind in the U.S. That's how you know this is a false claim.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

Somehow you get socialized medicine if you want gender reassignment surgery and you're a child.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago

Sound logic. Actually the most penetrable, I think, for these dolts.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

You can get all the free surgery you want in the US. You just have to join the military.

[-] dugmeup@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And then wait until you have lived with it most your life

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 10 months ago

Who is doing the operations, Don? The school nurse with the cafeteria staff handing them scalpels and shit?? Band teacher anesthesiologist. OK I'm done.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

That's quite a step up from school nurse when I was a kid. You'd come in there bleeding to death and she'd give you a Tylenol and send you back to class.

Canr forget the ziplock full of ice cubes

[-] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Shit, tons of districts aren't even fully staffed with school nurses anymore. They often only have a few nurses that rotate between schools, so any given school only has a nurse on site one or two days a week. It's actually a huge problem because there's nobody available to dispense prescription meds for kids that need them, so either the teachers (who aren't trained or equipped for this) have to help out or the kids have to self-medicate.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

It's just such an obvious and outrageous lie. If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Also, if it was happening, wouldn't the parents be the ones complaining? I mean, wouldn't the parents be famous right now? They'd be on all the talk shows making the news circuit.

If this actually happened, the parents' names would be famous. Trump would be parading these people around.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Also what benefits should the underfunded school system have for giving out expensive surgeries for free? What do they stand to gain from that?

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 10 months ago

The schools get newly indoctrinated woke soldiers. /s

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

One of my daughter's best friends is trans. I told my daughter that maybe he'll get lucky and the school nurse will construct a penis for him.

Even if that claim is remotely close to true. Why? What on earth would the purpose for a gender transition conspiracy possibly serve?

You have to do more backflips than simone biles to match the mental gymnastics for that kind of thinking.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Trump's most successful political method was that he changed lanes faster than anyone could keep up. It allowed him to control the narrative. You're falling for the same tricks that won him the 2016 election. Don't engage.

Just call them weird and move on.

"Sure is weird someone is thinking about school children's genitalia instead of their choice of weapons for a school shooting, especially at a time like this." Done.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

His base believes in doing things just for the cruelty. So these ridiculous claims, (gangs taking over apartments, immigrants eating cats, forced transitions) are believable to them based on their own support for doing things just to be cruel.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

According to my biology teacher, its to lower the birth rate

[-] Samvega 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The birth rate is low because right-wing politics make people not want to have children. But I can see how people invested in right-wing politics would be motivated to ignore that.

[-] Samvega 6 points 10 months ago

The birth rate is low because right-wing politics make people not want to have children.

[-] theterrasque@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago

They want to force people to be hetero, Christian, and either white male and upper class, or anything else and subservient.

So for them, other groups forcing/ brainwashing people to be gay/trans, atheist and so on makes perfect sense.

Credit where credits due, he took that from Orbán(hungarian pm). Orbán started saying this exact same thing like 5 years ago. Now it progressed so far that even kindergartaners are being converted with "gender conversion surgeries". People unironically believe this bullshit. They say it so much that "nemátalakító műtét" became kind of a meme. Prepare america, if you fuck up this election its over.

[-] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

I went to the school nurse with a 103 fever and the nurse told me to lay down and offered me an ice pack. MFs can't even give you Tylenol. You think they're arranging free surgery? The only other tool they have is bandaids

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

In any sane world, this level of blatant lying would immediately disqualify one from being electable in a democracy

Penis inspection day is now penis removal day.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Oh wow, so now schools not only do a gender reassignment surgery during recess, but it is forcing children too?

I mean at this point, I'm seriously wondering who are the people that believe this? The lies are gettting ridiculous at this point.

[-] revelrous@sopuli.xyz 13 points 10 months ago

I have relatives with master's degrees that work in education that you can not convince that cat litter bathrooms are not a thing.

[-] Samvega 7 points 10 months ago

"I heard a thing that justifies my bigotry, therefore it must be true, because if it isn't true I'm not a good person."

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The "best" part of that is that yes, some schools keep cat litter in classrooms, but the reason is so if there's a school shooter, they don't have to risk walking to the bathroom.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I need a source for that, too.

The same people that believed schools were putting litter boxes in the bathrooms for students to use.

Not the best or the brightest.

[-] squid_slime@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago

Its ridiculous, my British uncle is convinced Critical Race Theory is tour is in school. I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn't know. People are being lied to and then they tie it to ego and become talking heads for shit they have no idea of beyond surface level.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago

I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn't know.

Same thing happens when you ask someone complaining about "the woke" what that word actually means. Blank stare and no coherent answer.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago

People are being lied to and then they tie it to ~~ego~~ preexisting prejudices

Whether it's racism, sexism, transphobia....it's lies that are easy to believe because it feels true.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

sigh I wish my rights and existence weren’t treated like this. Like I’m sure I can think of something pithy or brave or whatever but I’m just so damn tired of this shit

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Oh I have one. I sure wish they’d started when I was in school. I had to do the hard work of actually admitting I wanted it to myself and others.

[-] aquinteros@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

I mean he's not wrong... i got reassigned and got surgery multiple times in recess Tuesdays before math... thankfully it was a pair number of times so I stayed the same gender after school

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I didn't because I got a cootie shot. It wasn't as easy as it sounds, it involved a circle, circle, dot, dot.

Teachers can barely force teens to do their schoolwork, how on earth are they supposed to force them into a "gender transition op"?

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

Why the hell isn’t the DNC able to sue his ass for libel?

[-] irotsoma@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Because many of them believe the same thing. The Democratic party is overall moderate conservatives, but some swing further right than others. We don't have a progressive party in the US.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Trump falsely claims

Is a complete statement, and is true on a daily basis. Usually multiple times a day.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

What was that thing he said the other day that was factual and true? I forget…

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

He finally admitted he lost the 2020 election...

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 6 points 10 months ago

Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?

-Trump during a Fox interview last week

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

I sent my son to kindergarten and got back a daughter!

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago

old guy rambles "git off mah skewl" to make-believe gender transition ops.

weird school he went to.
