We live in an era where it's considered impolitic and inadvisable to support bans on child genital mutilation.
Think about that — really think about it — while you read this:
The chief executive officer of Thomas Jefferson University said he was "disappointed" in president Mark Tykocinski's "careless use" of his Twitter account in which he "liked" tweets that question the science of COVID-19 vaccines and call gender reassignment surgery "child mutilation."
Now, a small but important note here: Tykocinski is "a Yale-educated molecular immunologist." If anyone is qualified to "question the science of COVID-19 vaccines," it's probably him. And honestly, don't you get the sense that people don't really care about the COVID vaccines anymore? Their fundamental shoddiness has been openly acknowledged for years at this point. People don't get all worked up if you "question" them at this point, not like they used to.
No, Tykocinski's primary sin was likely that he approved of tweets that were critical of child genital mutilation, what the mainstream press calls "gender reassignment surgery." These are the procedures where doctors cut up and otherwise remove the healthy reproductive organs of young children. It happens. It's brutal and psychopathic. And you should absolutely be against it.
He also liked tweets from detransitioner Chloe Cole and journalist Alex Berenson, both public figures of importance that have been deemed evil by the ruling class.
But Tykocinski's thoughtcrime made a bunch of people mad. So he felt he had to run for cover:
"I understand that my lack of knowledge of the Twitter platform created questions and unintentionally offended many," he wrote in his apology message. "Please be assured this will be a learning experience, and I will grow as a person and professional from this misstep."
Pretty pathetic stuff there.
The man quickly noted that he and his family have all been vaxxed up. But, again, nobody really cares what he thinks about vaccines. They care what he thinks about the sanctioned quasi-sexual butchery of vulnerable children. In attempting to avert a catastrophe on that front, Tycocinski told the Inquirer:
This is not my clinical area of expertise. In general, any issue involving children should be referred to clinical experts at children's hospitals who offer the full complement of services necessary.
That's weak, cowardly stuff. Men like this who capitulate to barbarity at the first sign of opposition make me sick.
But even that wasn't enough. Transgender partisans are really, really good at breaking people to the saddle of the ideology. Jessa Lingel, an associate professor of communication and "gender, sexuality, and women's studies" at the university, recognized that the critical issue here was the man's public stance on transgenderism. As she put it:
You shouldn't need specialized understanding in pediatric care to recognize that trans-affirming care is simply part of health care and part of well-being. It's not a radical stance to say that trans-affirming care is not mutilation for children or anybody.
See? That's the whole point of this dust-up. For the briefest of seconds Tykocinski had suggested a possible administrative disapproval of child mutilation. He must be stopped. That sort of thing can't be allowed to linger.
A university spokeswoman, meanwhile, said the school "intends to use this opportunity as a teaching moment regarding the understanding, impact, and prudent use of social media."
