Stacy McCain Hiding In Plain Sight: Jeanette Jennings and Transgender Munchausen by Proxy

Megan Fox of PJM has a rather too-detailed-for-comfort story about the tragic reality TV star “Jazz” (née Jared) Jennings. Let’s just say that the poster girl for transgenderism, who first appeared on the cable show I Am Jazz at age 14, is not happy with the results of his/“her” transition.

Really, there was no precedent for what was done to this child, except perhaps the experiments of Doctor Mengele. The use of so-called “puberty blockers” (synthetic hormones) at an early age to prevent the normal process of maturation — well, who had ever heard of such thing? Undergoing “gender reassignment” surgery at age 17 — gosh, what could possibly go wrong? Trust me, you don’t want to know the answer.

At PJM's  Insanity Wrap Vodka Pundit tells The Sad Truth About Jazz Jennings. 

The Wombat has Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Riley Gaines and FMJRA 2.0: Die Macht Der Bilder up and running on The Other McCain.
