Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
[TW: cissexism]
The Washington Times attacked transgender people seeking the ability to change the gender listed on their birth certificates, writing: “It’s fair to ask where all of this is heading. Could Jocelyn Wildenstein — famously nicknamed ‘Catwoman’ for the feline appearance she achieved through multiple plastic surgeries — decide after years of struggling with her identity that she is actually a cat?” The Times went on to further question the sanity of transgender people, suggesting that “perhaps these people are just messed up.”
AHH. AHH. AHH. HOLY BALLS, BATMAN, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
some choice quotes from the article:
Calling the accurate sex recorded at a birth “a mistake” is the misleading yet predictable result of a creeping activist agenda quietly transforming the country.
[…] self-identified transgenders and their allies are finding success for their radical agenda by merely asserting that it’s a medical condition and going forward with counseling for “transition” (purportedly becoming the opposite gender) and radical surgery to “correct” their organs and sex characteristics. There is no more debate over the possibility that perhaps these people are just messed up.
Let’s leave alone, for the time being, the question of whether supporting and reinforcing a mixed-up patient’s desire to surgically mutilate his (or her) body to resemble a unique perception of “becoming” the opposite sex is “appropriate” treatment. No matter what, official government identification documents should not be changed to accommodate the feelings of any group. “I would just like my identification to reflect who I am,” “Patricia” Harrington, who was born a man, said at a press conference on the lawsuits.
Let’s not change policies to accommodate the feelings of - and dubious treatment practices for - a conflicted group who clearly warrant compassion more than complicity.
dear washington post,
well, fuck you, too.
love,

WHAT. THE. FUCKING. FUCK. I hate people like this. I don’t say I hate many people, because really it takes a lot of effort to hate. But i hate people like this. Narrow minded people who just refuse to understand. And in washington d.c.! On the east coast, in a big city where it’s supposed to be “progressive”. So many feelings…

I bet they don’t know anyone who identifies as transgendered. I wonder how they were allowed to post this article.
“Perhaps these people are just messed up.” - What????? That not only sounds unprofessional, but it is blatant hatred.
