Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Knockers

And the death of civilization continues:

Transsexual in court appeal for breast enlargement

A transsexual refused breast enlargement surgery on the NHS is to take her case to the High Court, at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds to the hospital’s budget.

The legally aided gender dysphoria sufferer, who has been living as a woman for over 10 years, says breast augmentation is essential to her female identity and emotional well-being and the refusal to give her the op amounts to sex discrimination.

Her unique test case against the West Berkire Primary Care Trust (PCT), in which the the Equality and Human Rights Commission will also be playing a part, is now set for hearing at the High Court on October 20.

This is what we get by developing an absurd idea of what a “right” is. If health care is a right and if a person has a right to alter their gender, then it naturally follows that you have a right to big old honkin’ tits. Where did we go wrong? When we said that health care is a right – its not; its a privilege. A right is something we can, at least in theory, exercise in our capacity as our selves. I can speak, so I have a right to speak; I can fight, so I have a right to self defense; I can work, so I have a right to the fruits of my labor. I can’t do breast augmentation on myself, and thus I have no right to same. Our liberties erode as our rights increase – we’re busy fighting for sex change surgery so we don’t have time to notice that our right to speak and to assemble is being progressively restricted.

And the worst thing about it: all these screwball liberals who fight out these insane issues would be the first to kneel before an Islamist master, come to conquer. They’d accept slavery so fast it’d make your head spin…given the large of amount of secret homosexuality in the upper classes of the Moslem world, someone like the plaintiff in this case might fetch a high price at auction; and we’d get not a peep out of them…except, perhaps, a demand that Christians and Jews shed their blood to liberate the twits.

And we would – and we will defend them…but a time of reckoning is coming; we can’t forever allow asinine things like this to interfere with a rational society.
