Here’s a fresh piece of Hollywood hocus-pocus for you: On Thursday’s episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, they painted Texas – my Texas – as a life-threatening territory for the simple act of opposing the admittedly controversial trans surgeries for minors.
Check this out. The episode, titled “Blood, Sweat, and Tears,” introduces a “trans” kid named “Caroline” who is flown by her mother, all the way from Texas to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle, for a neurosurgery procedure. Might sound odd, but what’s more bewildering is their refusal to trust Texan doctors. The surgery is in no way related to the child’s trans identity, but the fear of doctors in their own state is plain absurd.
Remember, we Texans are proud, and we stand up for what’s right. Last year, Texas stood its ground and outlawed puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and similar life-altering practices that could potentially harm a minor. Imagine a kid being allowed to make such massive decisions about their body and identity that could have lifelong consequences.
But here’s the proverbial cherry on the top. Dr. Monica Beltran, a Grey-Sloan doctor, and formerly a Texan, chats about this with Dr. Amelia Shepherd. Beltran seems offended that the kid felt the need to travel so far for treatment. She labels Texas a hostile ground where transgender children would be better off fleeing than staying.
Dr. Shepherd’s response? Well, she’s left speechless. However, I can’t say I share her sentiment.
Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room here: the recent spate of violent attacks perpetrated by trans-identified radicals. They’ve got an unquenchable thirst for their ideological opponents’ blood, and it’s Christian folks who seem to bear the brunt.
Grey’s Anatomy isn’t new to the game of liberal propaganda. Twenty years and counting, it’s fear-mongered on everything from anti-abortion laws to climate change. It’s as if they feed on inciting hysteria and perpetuating hostility towards any dissenting opinion.
The show has somehow managed to captivate audiences for nearly two decades, maintaining a place on our screens despite their uncanny love for torching conservative views. With an upcoming election season, one can only expect amplified defamations.
Who knows, maybe audiences will continue to watch. Maybe the allure of baseless drama will keep them coming back. But let’s not lose hope in the truth.
In the end, let’s not allow Hollywood distortions to shape our understanding of reality. Texas, my friends, is not the enemy of trans children, and nor are we a hostile land. We’re strong, we’re principled, and we’re here to stand up for our kin – minors included – against any radical, life-altering decisions.
