In the category of “who knew” should be filed the insight by former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama that millions of black people “run away from water” and “can’t swim” because of their desperation to maintain the straightened hair they feel (racist) whites expect of them. As Larry Elder notes in Jewish World Review, Obama helpfully used much of a recent podcast to “explain” to “white people” that blacks have naturally curly hair.
Radical Transgenderism Takes Another Hit
The 11,000-member American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) – which includes hundreds of Canadian members – “has come out unequivocally against ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries in adolescents under age 19,” writes Leor Sapir in City Journal. The ASPS has also joined a growing number of international organizations in warning about the potential physical and psychological damage to children and teens of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
[Editor’s note: Two days after the ASPS’s announcement, the American Medical Association announces it now agrees that gender-altering “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”]
