The Washington Times, the newspaper of progressive punch bagging, used the terms “weirdos” and “she-males” to describe transgender people in its weekend attack on ENDA. Naturally, GLAAD is all sorts of upset, which is completely understandable, but c’mon, you’ve got to appreciate any editorial that kicks off like this: “First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes. Religious broadcasters and faith-based summer camps should not be forced to hire cross-dressers. Women should not be forced to share bathrooms with people with male body parts who say they want to be females. Yet those are some of the likely results if Congress passes H.R. 3017, the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which is due for a vote this week by the House Education and Labor Committee.”
For the record, the Times doesn’t appear to be attacking ENDA’s protection for sexual orientation, just gender identity. So can we count this as half-sies support?

The WT cannot fail fast enough. But then again, it’s being propped up from the money grifted by an insane cult.

Sarcasm: Oh, won’t someone puh-leeze think of the children!
OMFGs!!! I seriously doubt the kids will be confused or psychologically harmed in any way… Notice how they NEVER bring up any objections against what women might do! Men are their only focus, as if we, as a gender, cannot REALLY be trusted around kids unsupervised! Hell, this is the feeling that I get when I simply wave hello to children passing by me on the street or in a public place (usually, though, they greet me, first!). Hell, Americans also need a serious lesson in HISTORY!!! Most are completely unaware that it was VERY common for erotic frescoes to decorate Roman villas in antiquity; they were especially painted on public area where their children where sure to spend much of their time.
Personally, I believe that we, as a society, need to overthrow the shackles of Christian psychological oppression, and to view it for the harm that it causes us! Hmmm…one wonders why a study has not been funded and published on THAT subject, ‘eh?!
But, more seriously, the media should be portraying this as the Red herring argument that it so-clearly IS! They know FULL WELL that they cannot win by attempting to vilify Gay people, so they’ve targeted another minority that is also attached to this bill to vilify instead in order to “kill two birds with one stone”.
This news piece also ignores two simple facts: more and more, especially in Elementary Schools, bathrooms are becoming gender-neutral; and in states that DO have non-discrimination laws covering Trans-gendered people, their fears have NOT been realized! Hell, they can’t even do what Maggie Gallagher attempts to do, and point to irrelevant news clippings or court cases!
