I admit that you hooked me for a few paragraphs. I blame it on real headlines now outpacing The Babylon Bee's satire.

The Great Santini's avatar

My thought was ‘Lord, please let this be a parody’. But, heck, it was the NHS, so who knows.

Bridget's avatar

Until we got to the hook part, I actually believed it for a bit and wasn't sure where it was going 🤪. I completely agree with you, when you live in Clown World, it's hard to differentiate fact from fiction these days.

Years ago I read a book about the character, Cormoran Strike. He was a private investigator who received a severed leg in the mail.

He discovered there were a group of people that identified as amputees.

At the time I thought it was just fiction.

Silly me.

“Body integrity dysphoria (BID), also referred to as body integrity identity disorder (BIID), amputee identity disorder or xenomelia, and formerly called apotemnophilia, is a mental disorder”

Patti F's avatar

Yes! This is the example my husband gave to a coworker when she told him her daughter believed she was a man. He used this exact example to explain that it's a mental issue. She didn't believe him at all that there were people like this but there truly are!

Laura Kasner's avatar

Good for him Patti!

MinnesotaBarb's avatar

OMG - I just finished reading this very book! It's hard to believe it, but it's true, that there are people out there who *dream* of being amputees, or blind. So sad!

Leslie M's avatar

True! I remember reading about a woman who was so desperate to be blind that she poured draino in her eyes. As someone who is almost legally blind, this is incomprehensible, but she did it.

Monica's avatar

Are you really in MN currently?

Laura Kasner's avatar

That’s wild Barb!

Lori's avatar

They are all nuts.

Adrian's avatar

I follow both the Babylon Bee and Not the Bee, and based on headlines alone it's impossible to know which site any given article is actually coming from.

“Hooked me”… I see what you did there! 🏴‍☠️

TheGreatAwakening's avatar

haha came to make the same comment

TheGreatAwakening's avatar

I see what you did there🤭

It is a continuing abuse if Captain Rapscallion is not also outfitted with a peg-leg......

Certainly, this is covered under Obamacare/NHS.

Abuelo Doug's avatar

And he needs to be supplied with Vitamin C blockers so he can develop full-blown scurvy.

Meddling Kid's avatar

And provided with a publicly-funded parrot.

KBB's avatar

Why didn't they remove one eye while they were at it?

Jeck's avatar

One part at a time. More profitable.

Skenny's avatar

Good call. The eye-patch is essential.

Laura Cornwell's avatar

I’m shocked they didn’t remove his eye at the same time. 😝

Tom Sherman's avatar

To be fair, I can’t say I completely bought into the Pirate “situation”, but not gonna lie, I did have a “for heaven’s sake, now what??” moment. I think I’m to the point where nothing surprises me anymore. Bernie Sanders needs a brain transplant.

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

He would have to forfeit the core charge as he has nothing to exchange. ; )

Jennifer McDermott's avatar

Target just launched their new “Shiver me Timbers” line of clothes and accessories. ON SALE NOW!

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

Complete with good-leg-tucking pantaloons for the peg-leggers still "transitioning".

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

But the muskets and sabers are pink for some reason...

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

It could identify as a cutlass...

CynthiaS's avatar

Don’t give them any ideas! 🤣

The Healthcare Complex has less credibility than the Used Car Salesmen Complex.

Peggy's avatar

this. I gauge all things on the Used Car Salesmen Complex.

Normalizing mental illness will not end well , we need to call it what it is . Mental illness is on full display these days , whether it be with those in authority or with your neighbor ect… and shame on the perverted medical staff who took an oath to do no harm. (PS , poor Keith Richards 🤣 ).

David Nelson's avatar

Normalization happened a long time ago (under Reagan?). Mental hospitals were emptied of patients who were deemed "not a threat," done in the name of "Liberte'! Egalite'! Fraternite'!" That is, in service of The Glorious Revolution! that says common sense must bow to Ideology. My cousin's quality of life--he blew out his synapses with heavy drug use in college and was institutionalized, but it was probably "angel dust" that got him--is barely above a cockroach's. He gets a monthly disability check--which he blows. He thinks that he's the prophet Daniel and that the checks come from God...

The Bernie Sanderses of the world congratulate themselves that, 'At least he's free, for some value of the variable.'"

ELKFLA's avatar

I'm with you. But, mental health education has been captured by the woke mafia.

If you want to make it through a program, you can't even dare to suggest that perhaps a child or adolescent is not actually suffering from gender dysphoria, but rather some other treatable problem. If you're lucky, you'll just be called on the carpet for your "cisnormative assumptions". If not, you could be out for "insufficient alignment with program values". Conform or be cast out.

Brandon is not your bro's avatar

Agree ….We can’t conform, then we are part of the problem.

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

Be cool or be cast out.

Diane W's avatar

I agree mental illness is on full display these days, but it's not the kids. They've been brainwashed. It's the adults that go along with it. The parents, the doctors, and all the rest who think it's a great thing to do for kids.

Brandon is not your bro's avatar

That’s why Jenna’s stack nailed it today with the pirate arm … argggh🤬

KBB's avatar

You are absolutely right, and for that reason these body-mutilation surgeries should be illegal, period, for anyone. A physician who treats a mental illness with surgery is committing malpractice and should lose his/her license.

Well written and not far from the truth of this. Certainly highlights the actuality of what’s going on. The drugs are given out on demand with so called therapists locked into only one side. It’s satanic child sacrifice 2020s style. Period. Bernie Sanders has said the same garbage for decades, done nothing, and now this utter stinking piece of evil shit can meet his Maker anytime. also why I want the left utterly destroyed politically and frankly in some cases physically.

If anyone needs to hear from the parents side of what they are put through as well, here is a substack. Even affirming their children leads to many seeing their children leave the family, often with siblings and cut off all contact. Heartbreaking. It’s horrific. Why I left the left after one soul searing revelation in September 2021. My grandchild by 13 was already damaged by I suspect the HPV vax. Sheer poison. But yet, groomed online, perfectly fine by NY therapists and the devil’s physician’s to hurt this child’s health and future. This now young 19 yo born a girl, had a hysterectomy early in the year, so it’s over. Parents threatened and insurance paid. I’m sorry to spill my anger here. I relate some of this horror to liberal friends and no reaction at all. Nada and they will line up to vote for more.

You have my sympathy and prayers. No good thing can come of this.

Dena's avatar

My heart breaks for you & your family Janet. 🙏

Teri McGiffert's avatar

I’m so sorry. What a heartbreaking nightmare.

Julie Young's avatar

I second your recommendation of the Pitt Substack — as well as the two books they’ve published of their compilation of compelling, heartbreaking columns.

Pat Wetzel's avatar

This is a great substack. Heart wrenching as it chronicles the devastation resulting from this insanity.

CynthiaS's avatar

Heartbreaking. I can’t imagine 😢

Laura Cornwell's avatar

The reason I did, for about a moment and a half, believe the pirate story is the same reason I believe the Brits will put a stabbed victim of crazy Sikh in handcuffs until he’s actually dead, even though he TOLD THEM REPEATEDLY he’d been stabbed. They couldn’t just raise his shirt to see— oh, no because that would be like telling the poor knife wielding perp they thought he could actually be guilty. He actually had to die to prove he’d been stabbed in the heart and lungs. Frankly, my dear, I’m now willing to believe anything about British “justice”. Oh, by the way, they apologized, so all is well.

Marlene Swann's avatar

Same. I actually had the thought “Oh, UK, could be true at this point!”

Dena's avatar

One of the female cops even commented on the blood coming out of the poor victims mouth, while just standing by & not investigating why.

Tim Pallies's avatar

Yeah. Adults? Seems crazy, but also none of my business. Doing this to children? It just makes me want to go out and hook someone in the face!

KBB's avatar

Adults who want this surgery need mental health intervention. Surgery ain't that. The doctors who perform these surgeries, even on adults, are culpable.

Will Falconer, DVM's avatar

Truly criminal. No other framing for it in my mind.

Claudia's avatar

I was reading the pirate story and was both furious and also thinking this cannot be real. Dr Clipper! Lololol you know it’s always in the name. It was a perfect April fools in June 💯

Marlene Swann's avatar

I did not even catch that! Respect, Claudia!

James's avatar

Jenna could have named him Dr Cliphim instead hahahaha!!!

Alan Brown's avatar

Thank’ee, Jenna. Arr……..

FREED0ML0VER's avatar

Funding aside, any doctor - correction, butcher - who mutilates a child needs to have it done to THEM. Without anesthesia.

And as for the gender dysphoria that's driving this: it's not peer pressure or grooming. It's vaccine-caused brain damage. Damage to the deepest parts of the brain. The parts that make you YOU. It's not a coincidence that a high percentage of gender confused children are also autistic.

Will Falconer, DVM's avatar

Good point. Many years ago, when I was just learning about how deeply vaccination's damages go came a well researched book: Vaccination, Social Violence, and Criminality, The Medical Assault on the American Brain, by Harris Coulter https://www.westonaprice.org/book-reviews/vaccination-social-violence-and-criminality-by-harris-coulter/#gsc.tab=0

Dena's avatar

Yes & they’re probably also targeted since they are more vulnerable. The evil preying on the weak - I do hope there is a millstone ready for these devils.

Heather B's avatar

After a few sentences I thought "This must be satire, it's too stupid to be real." Brilliant post pointing out the utter stupidity/abuse of the Medical cartel. Should make everyone question the integrity of some doctors and the intelligence of some parents.

Brandon is not your bro's avatar

Shame on Bernie…. It’s one kid too many 🤬

Max Bumpo's avatar

There's an easy solution! Donald Trump becomes Denise Trump and runs as the first woman President, then she can serve (another) two terms! Watch how fast Democrats change their tune on this whole thing.

Arrrrgggg, it's such a pleasure to be sailing the high seas with Captain Jenna, especially when it comes to this very black and white topic of child abuse. Such a great analogy!
