everything the TV man says must be entertained. it is all well-founded and based on real things that are happening! we must listen and learn to both sides of the aisle

    no one even pays for it, the healthcare workers will be paid regardless of whether a detained undocumented immigrant gets a bottom surgery. at best, it could be argued that it takes time away from surgeries for documented citizens. but the amount of detained undocumented immigrants seeking GRS would be negligible.

      I did my best 30 seconds of googling and found that in 2018, about 84000 illegal immigrants were incarcerated in the US. If we assume about 2% of them are trans, looking for reassignment, which I believe was the last percentage of US people identifying as trans, we’re looking at like 2000 surgeries.

      The horror!

        This assumes they’re even getting surgeries in the first place (although I wouldn’t blame any trans immigrant for making their prison into a personal Dorley if they had the chance and wanted to)
