Roast Wingnut

I ranted about the wingnut-o-sphere's insane reaction to this story earlier in February. However, in my blog travels this morning, I found something that's even more insane than the usual sources of stupidity I cited in my first post.

According to Kelly Boggs, treatment should be denied to transsexuals because he doesn't think it's a good use of taxpayer dollars:

They need counseling. However, they don’t need a surgeon, especially one provided at taxpayers’ expense. ... Frankly, I think sex reassignment surgery for otherwise healthy individuals should be banned.

Until I read this little bit of insanity, the column was the usual religious wingnut rantings - based in the usual assortment of stupidity. However, at the point I read this, my jaw hit the floor. Not only does this nutbar think that people should be denied treatment, but worse, he thinks it's his damned business what treatment should be available. (No doubt, he'd be quite happy to see a return to widespread use of Electroshock Therapy and lobotomy treatments for what he considers "illnesses")

Yes, Mr. Boggs, perhaps next time you go to the doctor for treatment, you should drag along a couple of your neighbors to see if they agree that your treatment is a good use of taxpayer dollars.
