Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

There are many reasons for this: ideology, the drive since the sexual revolution to overturn all sexual norms, false science, and wrong beliefs about the nature of the human body, to name a few. But the transgender craze is also extremely popular because it is making powerful people rich. The market for sex reassignment surgery in the United States was estimated to be $1.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $5 billion by 2030.[48] The cost of phalloplasty ranges from $20,000 to $40,000, and the entire “bottom surgery” package can generate up to $100,000 for hospitals.[49] “Chest reconstruction” can cost $40,000 per patient, and vaginoplasty generates at least $20,000,[50] not including the hospital stay, anesthesia, and post-op visits. Increasingly, health insurance is required to cover it all.
