ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel closed the book on 2025 on Thursday by doing his best imitation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. If Jackson claims she can’t define what a woman is because she’s not a biologist, Kimmel claims that Trump administration officials are out of their depth for claiming that “men are men” and “women are women” because they do not have medical degrees.
Kimmel began by introducing a clip of Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, after the administration announced on Thursday that hospitals that provide gender-altering treatments to minors will be ineligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. He quipped, “And then we have JFK's other nephew, the nutty one, who held a press conference with Dr. Oz this afternoon to announce that the government is cracking down on ‘Transgender for everyone.’ Bobby Brain Worm and Mehmet the Frog are finally putting a stop to something that almost never happens: children having sex change operations, which Oz will tell you costs a lot.
Liberals like Kimmel never explain why they act like “almost never happens” is the same as “never happens.” Nevertheless, in the clip, Oz declared, “Shockingly, a phalloplasty, the creation of a penis, costs on average, in America, according to this data, high quality, $150,000 per child [jump cut] And I must point out that the creation of a vagina in that case, of a phalloplasty, or a scrotoplasty, where you add testicles, that’s extra.”
