Talk show host Bill Maher says children are paying the price for the transgenderism trend.
"And if you haven't noticed that, with kids, doing something for the 'likes' is more important than their own genitals, you haven't been paying attention."
Maher sources an expert on the subject, saying, "Dr. Erica Anderson is a prominent 71-year-old clinical psychologist who is herself transgender, and who now says 'I think it's gone too far.'"
Referring to an article written on Dr. Anderson's comments, Maher continues: "The LA Times summarizes: 'She's come to believe that some children identifying as trans are falling under the influence of their peers and social media.'
"If you attend a small dinner party of typically very liberal upper-income Angelinos, it is not uncommon to hear parents who each have a trans kid having a conservation about that."
Maher then segues to discuss how some parts of the country are very different from others, especially on this issue.
"What are the odds of that happening in Youngstown, Ohio? If this spike in trans children is all-natural, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them," Maher said as the audience erupts into applause.
"It's like that day we suddenly needed bottled water all of the time," Maher quipped.
"If we can't admit that, in certain enclaves, there is some level of trendiness to the idea of being anything other than straight, then this is not a serious science-based discussion. It's a blow being struck in the culture wars, using children as cannon fodder."
"I can't understand parents who won't let their nine-year-old walk to the corner without a helmet, an epi-pen and a GPS tracker, and God forbid their lips touch dairy," mentions Maher, this time to mixed laughter and applause.
"But, hormone blockers and genital surgery? Fine!" he continued.
"Talk about a nut allergy."
