Transgender Pets?
If I were a veterinarian I’d give serious consideration to offering gender affirming care to pets. I could offer an array of services that might include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary animals.
Do you think this might be a profitable form of veterinary practice? Where would be the best place to locate a practice like this?

Ha!
All I can say is the idea would fail in a large animal practice, but might succeed in a small animal environment.
Given how much money seems to be related to the Trans industry I would can see that it would be a very smart area to encourage backing this time of services. It would generate money in the care of the pets themself but also I could see a large amount of money being provided by the human customers just to show their point of view is correct in the world.
It would absolutely be a huge moneymaker. The vet should locate his gender-affirming practice in any wealthy and virtuous leftist enclave. I would suggest his first office be in Manhattan in NYC and his second in Beverly Hills, Ca.
Boulder, Colorado.
Already full of lefty kooks, and now reliably high all the time.
Right next to the discount spay and neuter clinic.
That would probably be deemed cruel. I mean, our pets are precious and you want to treat them like mere children?
You say that now, but I just bought a dairy farm full of gold star lesbian cows at a really good price!
You bought Rainbow Farm? 🌈
Rainbow Veterinary Clinic might be good branding.
EDIT: Just checked the web. there are already an assortment of Rainbow Vet outfits.
Thanks for reminding me to call the vet.
Okay, annual checkup and shots scheduled.
Do you have any trans dairy cows? Do you have a trans herd bull? Heh.
I love you, man!
LOL I had to check to see if this was a “Humor” post or not . . .
don’t forget San Francisco.
So no calves to make future prime rib. Sad!
I think you should add abortion services as well. I mean, I suspect most pregnancy in animals is due to either rape or incest. . .
I’m busy writing a book for those who consider pets as more desirable than children. ‘ How to Tell if Your Pet is Gay’.
The research has been done on this important topic.
I suppose trans affirming care would include “teats on a boar hog”. How useful.
Those cost extra.
You should be eating bugs anyway.
I can see that in blue states . . .

For the last few years I’ve been telling my husband that we should have invested in pet anything (PetCo, Chewy, etc). We’d be making a mint.
Since it seems that America has decided they’d rather have pets than children, you’re on point.
When did we first start hearing ‘fur babies’ and ‘dog parents’?
And why did we hear them more than once?
When I’m king, the use of such terms will be a capital offense.
You should be allowed to use it if you have raised an actual baby or two.
Offhand I’d suggest a place with a significant concentration of entertainment and media figures. Beverly Hills has been suggested. Malibu (California) would probably be another good place. Certain districts of Manhattan. Places near where parents are proudly mentioning on their social media accounts and in interviews that at least one (and often multiple) of their children is “transgender.” I would prioritize what parents are saying over what the teens or preteens themselves are saying. If the parents are bragging about their kids’ “transgenderism,” it is probably a greater indicator that the parents are claiming that on behalf of their children for the social benefit of the parents. This desire to use claims of children’s “transgenderism” to build up the parents’ social status seems to be more common among entertainment and media figures. And this desire to use creatures under their control for their own social status will translate more easily to also use pets in addition to children to build up the parents’ and owners’ perceived virtue.
Exactly. More’s the pity.
