Editor’s Note: When this story came across my desk, I’ll admit I had to double-check to make sure it wasn’t satire. The transgender fad in the United States has prompted people to desecrate their bodies in strange ways, but this one may be the most asinine. Men wanting to be women are having their clavicle removed to reduce the size of their shoulders.
I’m old enough to remember that men getting shoulder surgery usually meant they were injured in the factory or perhaps they’re a pitcher in baseball. To see shoulder surgeries happening to make men wanting to be women to seem more feminine is just another example of Cultural Marxism permeating throughout our nation.
It’s truly a mental illness and they’re doing everything they can to spread this to children. Let’s pray judgment for our nation is withheld long enough for us to expose and correct this lunacy. Otherwise, we’re due a whole lot of punishment and tribulation for letting wokeness infect the masses. Here’s an article by Ethan Huff from Natural News with more details…
Latest Trans Fad Involves Men Slicing off Shoulder Width to Look More “Feminine”
You may have heard about little girls getting a double mastectomy in order to become little “boys,” but have you heard of shoulder reduction surgery?
This is the latest transgender craze that males who wish to transform into “females” are doing. It involves the clavicle bone being surgically removed while the ends are reconnected with either a metal plate or screw.
The procedure is designed to make biological men appear more as “women,” and the fad is sweeping “gender affirming” medicine as the latest and greatest way for males to really turn transgender. (Related: Some government officials want all criticism of transgender procedures to be considered “hate crimes”.)
Male shoulders are obviously wider and larger than female shoulders, which means that even if a transgender removes his genitals and slaps on some fake breasts, he will still look male in his frame. Shoulder reduction surgery “fixes” that.
Boston Children’s Hospital’s gender clinic is one such facility that offers shoulder reduction surgery. The procedure requires a lot of technical skill, a promotional video explains. And if anything goes wrong, shoulder mobility can end up damaged.
Shoulder reduction surgery is “gross medical malpractice,” says journalist
After a transgender gets a shoulder reduction, it takes two weeks of near-total immobilization for the first portion of the healing to begin. After that, it takes another three months, on average, for the healing to complete.
As far as we know, this is the first type of transgender surgery that involves reconstructing bone. Other procedures alter skin and tissue, but this kind causes permanent damage to a person’s skeleton.
“This is gross medical malpractice,” tweeted journalist Brandon Showalter about shoulder reduction surgery. “How on EARTH are these body disfigurement operations legal?”
“Surgeons should not be harming and compromising the fundamental integrity of the human body as a whole, functioning organism.”
Showalter is right, but the exact same thing can be said about a double mastectomy, a penis removal, or even so-called “bigenital” surgeries in which a transgender decides to maintain both sets of genitals.
“Shoulder width reduction surgery faces the same flaws as other elective reduction surgeries,” added another person on Twitter. “A surgeon can lengthen or shorten a bone, but they cannot lengthen or shorten the accompanying anatomy – muscles, nerves, blood vessels. This is a violation of a doctors first oath.”
As for the claim that the “transgender rights” movement is akin to the Civil Rights Movement, here is what another person had to say about such utter nonsense:
“Face, Adam’s apple, breast implants, ribs removed, hip implants, shoulders, penis and testes, toes cut down, hormones, testosterone blockers, puberty blockers – all to be the women they ‘already are.’ This doesn’t look like an organic civil rights movement.
The worst victims in all this will surely be the children. Since they are easily impressionable, many young ones are already being led down the irreversible path of “gender affirmation” and all the surgeries and drugs that come with it – to their own demise.
“Many who embark on the medical transition pathway find themselves seeking out one invasive procedure after another,” writes Mia Ashton for the Post Millennial.
“For the young women who find themselves in this world, when testosterone doesn’t make them feel better, they fixate on a bilateral mastectomy as the solution to all their discomfort. But when the mastectomy fails to make them feel like men, many turn to phalloplasty as the answer, a surgical procedure with an extremely high complication rate.”
“In the documentary Detransition Diaries, Grace Lidinsky-Smith tells how after her mastectomy at age 23, she began to focus on the width of her hips. The surgery didn’t resolve her dysphoria, it just displaced it.”

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
