Pop icon Cyndi Lauper made the news this week by comparing banning gender-affirming surgery for children to Adolph Hitler’s treatment of the Jewish people during the Holocaust. Breitbart News reported that the singer said that pushing legislation to ban biological males from women’s sports, and preventing children from undergoing gender-affirming surgery, was much like what the Nazis did to “weed out the weak parts of society.”

“Equality for everybody, or nobody’s really equal,” Lauper said. “This is how Hitler started, just weeding everybody out.”

Lauper made headlines last year after Roe vs. Wade faced extinction. She launched a fun called “Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights,” a nonprofit company inspired by her late mother.
