It is possible to say John Oliver does not like the Alabama law prohibiting doctors from offering sex-altering procedures to minors.
The Last Week Tonight host spent a significant portion of his show complaining about legislation signed in April by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s May 8th implementation was announced. Although the bill prohibits gender-reassignment operations, the section that would make providing hormone treatment a felon was stopped by a federal judge.
Oliver was angry at the idea of a limited restriction on transitioning children, as were many leftists.
Oliver showed a clip from Ivey explaining why she supported legislation and quickly decided to critique her position in an unlogical manner.
“Some facts are not truths. Summer’s hot, the ocean’s big, and gender is a question of biology, not identity,” Ivey said in the video. “Here in Alabama, we’re gonna go by how God made us because we identify with something liberals never will: reality.”
“Okay, first, f—k you. Second, ‘summer’s hot, ocean’s big’ doesn’t sound like the wind up to denying trans people their rights,” Oliver said.
He said we don’t have to accept the existence of two genders, as our bodies are too fragile and weak for us to believe that God has made certain things.
“As to her point there that we have to respect how God made us, do we? Really? Why?,” he said. “Because we’ve got way too many holes, way too little hair, and necks, fragile lollipop bones that balance our dum-dum heads in one very specific direction or else we die, and all of this is intelligent design.”
Here’s a clip of the rant that has all the tell-tale marking of an uninformed leftist ranting about something from a standpoint of emotion and not logic.
Oliver might want you to think otherwise, but preventing transgender surgeries isn’t so terrible. Actually, it is worse for a child to believe that they have the right to change their gender. Anybody who would willingly mutilate any child in order to violate basic human biology should be disqualified from practicing medicine.
