Jon Cryer, a famous actor from Hollywood, has publicly defended child sex change policies. During a heated debate with HBO’s Bill Maher on Maher’s” Club Random” radio, Cryer made one of the most absurd evaluations inconceivable: he likened the increasing occurrence of child” sexual changes” to the increase in left-handedness after political prejudices faded.  ,

Yes, actually.
The discussion took place as Maher addressed the issue of how at least 20 states have prohibited the savage process. These rules are now at the middle of a variety of constitutional battles, including Tennessee’s policy, which the Supreme Court is expected to consider in United States v. Skrmetti.  ,
Maher, who, as we’ve reported around at PJ Media in the past, is no stranger to calling out radical leftist ideas, shared his opposition to child sex shifts, arguing that kids lack the capacity to produce such life-altering choices.  ,
But Cryer has apparently drunk the Kool-Aid.
” Children don’t know s**t about anything”, Maher bluntly said, pushing back against Cryer’s defense of allowing minors to pursue irreversible medical interventions. He also cited how left-leaning nations increasingly serving as models for the United States are beginning to impose restrictions on these measures. By clicking here, you can read more about that.
Cryer argued that no parent wants to make such difficult choices for their children while claiming that the rise in these procedures is simply because it is now more acceptable for kids to identify as transgender in openly.  ,
” Well, again, the people who go through it don’t say,’ This is the life I want.’ No parent wants to be in the midst of these choices”, he claimed without evidence.
Maher wasn’t buying it.
” Some kids these days actually do want to be trans”, Maher told him. ” It’s cooler, Jon. It’s a thing”.
” Nope, I don’t agree”, Cryer said, before devolving the serious topic by saying in a sing-songy voice,” I don’t agree with Bill Maher”.

Maher highlighted the growing prevalence of child sex changes, which can’t possibly be organic, which prompted Cryer to unleash his disturbing analogy.
” There’s a societal suppression. It’s like left-handedism”, Cryer said. ” Being left-handed was surpressed for, you know, thousands of years amongst human beings. But, once, they … apparently it was in the thirties scientists basically said there’s no… there’s no… left-handedness doesn’t actually do anything bad, ]and ] left-handedness just shot up. People just stopped training themselves to be right-handed”.

In essence, Cryer makes the case that allowing transgender children to identify as transgender and undergo irreversible medical procedures before they are mentally mature enough to understand the consequences is no more important than letting them choose their dominant hand. This bizarre analogy ignores the grim reality of transitioning, where invasive procedures, potent hormone treatments, and permanent changes to young bodies take the place of a snap decision, such as which hand holds a pencil.
Cryer’s cynical comparison exposes a disturbing mindset, which is a clear example of how some people will go to the lengths to support the rationalization of exposing vulnerable children to life-altering medical procedures. Coming from someone in Hollywood— a cultural powerhouse with outsized influence on social norms — it’s not just absurd, it’s deeply unsettling. Hollywood’s acceptance of these stories runs the risk of perpetuating dangerous ideologies that blur the line between affirmative and irreversible harm.

The idea that children are capable of making decisions based on their biological identity is radical on its own. It is outright lunacy to compare such a life-altering choice with the eradication of the stigma against left-handedness; it is a chilling reflection of how far some will go to advance an agenda.
The stakes are high as courts and legislatures across the country deal with these issues: this is more than just policy. It’s about whether society will stand up for what is right and whether it will allow itself to be plunged further into the madness of ideology run amok.
