First of all, if you're wondering why we still don't have a cure for cancer it could be partly because this is the sort of thing the medical field is focusing its energies on now. Rather than figuring out better ways to treat and heal people who are physically sick, hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested into turning men into women and women into men.
Now you might point out that, well, the medical field can do both. Right? It can make Frankenstein monsters and it can try to cure cancer. Well, yeah. Theoretically it can work on curing and treating diseases while also devoting time to putting vaginas on men. That's true. The problem is that these two projects are fundamentally at odds. On the one hand, they're trying to make sick people better while on the other hand they're exploiting sick people, mentally sick people in this case, and mangling their bodies horrifically for profit.

There will never be a thing as a blanket cure for cancer. Cancer is not a specific disease with a specific aetiology, but a pretty wide group of functionally similar phenomena across all forms of tissue that can be caused by a large number of points of error in the regulation of cell division. Furthermore, cancers have certain traits that make them incredibly insidious and hard to deal with, such as metastases and the fact that it is the body’s own tissues with just a tiny yet devastating mutation.
Add “cancer” to the list of things Matt Walsh does not understand.

That’s a pretty big list, I’m thinking.
Also, I’m pretty sure Matt has absolutely no medical background whatsoever, or in fact not anything beyond a high school education, so why he thinks anyone should listen to what he has to say about a cure for cancer, I don’t know.
Yeah. Well, the healing process begins with the psychological wellbeing of the individual person.
...leading to persons : ultimately the body politic as a whole. You'll never be a health minister, least of all any form of politician.
You'd need a Tact transplant first to cure you of your terminal bigotry, Matty.
“mentally sick people in this case”
Like Matt Walsh and his obsessive mental illness, terminal paranoia of The Other.
“Rather than figuring out better ways to treat and heal people who are physically sick, hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested into turning men into women and women into men.”
And here we go, another mentally ill rant by a cretin, who doesn’t even have the slightest idea about how budgeting in medical fields work. Or how cancer works, or what it even is and double that on transpeople…
“Now you might point out that, well, the medical field can do both.”
Yes, my dear lobotomite, it can! Now go, take your pills and drool quietly in the corner. It’s, after all, much preferable to your attempts at putting together an argument from the mental equivalent of your own feces.
First of all, if you're dondering why we still won't have a cure for cancer it would be partly because this is the sort of con thing the physical field is focusing its energies on.
Nixon signed the National Cancer Act on December 23, 1971, so the war on cancer has lasted 51 years. As Bastethotep explained, cancer is a complex and tricky foe, and there is no blanket solution. Still, many forms of cancer are now treatable when caught early. My own mother survived non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and family friends have survived breast, skin, and kidney cancer. Many cancers are no longer an automatic death sentence.
None of this has anything to do with transgender treatment, of course. The medical field is vast and has room for diverse specialties. We can treat cancer AND gender dysphoria at the same time.
There will always be funding for cancer research, because everyone is afraid of cancer. Stop being afraid of transgenders.
Cancer is a very complex field, with very different tissues attacked by different causes: lung cancer caused by smoking is different from sun-caused skin cancer, right?
And shouldn’t you push for higher funding for scientific research instead?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
