Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts recently endorsed taking care away from transgender adults, saying in an episode of the PBD podcast that the organization is currently “running the numbers” on the supposed correlation between gender-affirming surgeries and violence. His proposed solution? “You outlaw it.”

“But where there continues to be disagreement is on what you do with adults. At Heritage, we believe that so-called transgender surgery is bad for anybody because of what you saw in Rhode Island yesterday,” Roberts said, referencing the Monday mass shooting that left three people dead, including the shooter, and three others critically injured, all of whom were related to the shooter. Police have described the attack as targeted and domestic in nature.

“There does seem to be a mounting body of evidence that suggests a correlation between that surgery at any age, mental health issues, and increasingly, although we’re running the numbers on this at Heritage, acts of violence,” Roberts added, falsely.

            I feel like a large celebration is in order for this milestone in our demographic’s development, white men need constant positive affirmations or we rapidly fall back into old ways and start checks notes murdering everyone who doesn’t look like us …
