So they needlessly amputated this teenage boy's penis, before he'd even had a single sexual encounter.

Then they made a patchwork quilt out of the harvested penile tissue, a section of his peritoneum lining, and a piece of his thigh skin and used that to line the cavity that they called a vagina.

They had to make this ghoulish quilt because his doctors — in the total absence of credible science — had blocked his puberty so his penis didn't develop, meaning there wasn't enough penile tissue for the standard penile inversion vaginoplasty.

And the reason they blocked his puberty is because he liked ballet, princess gowns, and a sparkly bathing suit when he was a child and so his mother told him he was a girl.

Then, the day after his surgery, the patchwork quilt burst open and he had to be rushed back to the hospital, in agony, for a major revision.

All this was caught on camera and watched by millions. Yet there wasn't rioting in the streets.

Instead, this show played a major role in triggering the social contagion of kids seeking this deeply unethical medical pathway — and people started marching in the streets demanding that they receive it.

This era will be studied in horror for centuries to come.

I once watched the entire show and did a running commentary to release my rage.

I'll never EVER get over this part
