please press: www.wyodaily.com
ezs note: Oh, bruther. The 'controversy' would be calmed if people understood the difference between transgender women and cisgender women. The first are done by medically proficient doctors; the second are not done by doctors at all. As far as cisgender girls and women go, the female genital mutilation is horrid, and the 'doctors' should be jailed. On the other hand, transgender women should take care that the surgeon is medically certified.

Another way to get there is as follows: https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading
Nota de EZS: Esta es una pieza corta, pero no menos importante. Desafortunadamente, tan pronto como comienza un virus, la charlatanería comienza en cuestión de segundos. Afortunadamente, la buena gente de AFP (Agence-France Presse) se lo está informando aquí. Una vez más, cuanta más gente conozca sobre esto, mejor, así que por favor corra la voz. Otra forma de llegar es la siguiente: https://factcheck.afp.com/these-14-claims-covid-19-are-viral-misleading
ezs note: Ceci est une pièce courte, mais non moins importante. Malheureusement, dès qu'un virus se déclenche, le charlatanisme démarre en quelques secondes.
