It’s Pride Month, a time when perhaps “a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of…” removing that which makes them a “young man” in the first place.

Now, in our politically-correct society dictated by the Left there are many ways to label this:

Gender-affirming Surgery;
Gender Reassignment / Realignment / Confirmation Surgery;
Masculinization / Feminization Surgery;
Male-to-female / Female-to-male surgery;
Sex Reassignment Surgery;
etc.

Regardless, when a biological Male wants to fully cosmetically change themselves into a Female they have to be castrated: A medical term that’s pure, simple, and of course politically incorrect.

And while people (not me) in the enlightened, tolerant, democratic, equitable United States go back-and-forth about whether it’s OK for biological males to remove their bits which go back-and-forth it seems the Islamic Faith has it all figured out:

“The wisdom behind the prohibition on castration is that it is contrary to what the Lawgiver wants of increasing reproduction to ensure continuation of jihad against the disbelievers. Otherwise, if permission had been given for that, then many people would have done that, and reproduction would have ceased, and the numbers of Muslims would have become less as a result, and the numbers of disbelievers would have increased, and that is contrary to the purpose for which the Prophet… was sent. 

It also has a number of negative consequences: Self-injury, deformity and causing harm that may lead to death. It also eliminates the quality of masculinity that Allah created in the man, and it is changing the creation of Allah, and is a kind of ingratitude for blessings. Moreover it is an imitation of women and choosing that which is imperfect over that which is perfect.”
- Fath al-Baari (9/119).

Some helpful context:

• Being Christian I would have quoted passages from the Bible, such as Isaiah 56:3-5 or 1 Timothy 1:8-11, but figured it would be safer to quote Islam as it seems Liberal Progressive Socialist Democrats and their complicit Media treat Muslims as a protected class while they attack Christian churches and values.

• Fath al-Bari is a multi-volume commentary on the Sunni hadith collection Sahih al-Bukhari, composed by Ibn Hajar. Viewed as the most celebrated hadith commentary it is said Ibn Hajar worked on it for 25 years.

• Jihad, or fighting to defend Islam, can be a fight against one’s own self, against Satan, against hypocrites (munafiqin), or against disbelievers of Islam (kuffar). The tools in this fight are a person’s heart (through prayer & spirituality), tongue (through words & deeds), wealth (by buying weapons, etc.) and oneself (through physical violence).
  
  It is an obligation for Muslims to practice jihad, as “Whoever dies without having fought or having resolved to fight has died following one of the branches of hypocrisy.” - Zad al-Ma`ad, 3/9-11. Thus, failing to fight makes them munafiqin and therefore targets of jihad.
