Nothing Libs of TikTok (or Matt Walsh for that matter) reported on Boston Children\u2019s Hospital was false. It was all well documented, not only by secondary sources but also by the hospital (as shown in the video). It was the hospital that boasted about being a top-notch facility for transgender surgery for minors. It was the hospital who told LibsofTikTok that they are a top-notch facility for transgender surgery for minors. <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/alexparker\/2022\/08\/12\/childrens-hospital-boasts-gender-affirming-hysterectomies-n611501\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Offered<\/a> \u201cgender-affirming\u201d Hysterectomies are for children.<\/p>\n<p>Roth still banned Libs of TikTok and appears to have no remorse if Ocasio Cortez&#8217;s answer is any indication. These are the same people who have controlled internet speech for many years. The same regressive hacks who controlled the most powerful social media site would still be in charge if Elon Musk had not forced Twitter&#8217;s sale.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s disturbing to think about how bad things were, and it\u2019s equally disturbing to see powerful politicians continue to support such illiberal insanity. Ocasio Cortez could turn the United States into a Soviet Union with her Pravda.
