First came Richard Raskind, an ophthalmologist who in 1975 underwent “sex reassignment” surgery. He emerged as Renee Richards and decided to pursue a professional tennis career as a woman – four years after reaching the finals of the men’s 35-and-over tennis championship.
More recently, there was Chastity Bono, daughter of famed pop duo Sonny and Cher, who in 2010 became Chaz Bono after undergoing a sex-change operation. A documentary on her/his “gender transition,” imaginatively titled “Becoming Chaz,” was well-received at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
And now there’s Larry Wachowski, co-director of the “Matrix” series, who debuted this week as Lana. Wearing a gray dress and pink dreadlocks, the latest member of the transgender community appears in a promo for a new movie he/she made with his/her bro Andy.
There was a time, not so long ago – before Chaz Bono appeared on “Dancing With The Stars,” before Barack Obama climbed in bed with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community – when transgenders kept their sex change on the down low.
Now, they’re out and they’re proud. Transgenders are the new “it” minority.
Not on Main Street USA, mind you, where most of us reside.
But on the main drag in West Hollywood. And on Castro Street in San Francisco, the nation’s capital of LGBT activism.
And on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., where LGBT guests of Obama recently took turns flipping off a White House portrait of the late great President Ronald Reagan.
Now that the LGBs have all but succeeded in mainstreaming their ungodly lifestyle, the Ts are next in line. They are determined to win legal recognition as a “protected” minority.
Indeed, transgenders are fighting to overturn the still-in-place Army regulation which declares those who’ve undergone a sex change unfit to serve.
They are challenging rules requiring athletes competing in women’s sports to actually have been born female.
They are demanding the “right” to continued employment when “transitioning” from one gender to another.
The transgender community represents that it’s no different than any other minority group in this country and, therefore, should be accorded “equal” treatment under the law.
But transgenders like Richards and Bono and Wachowski are clinically ill, according to the American Psychiatric Association. In fact, the APA has long held that men who want to be women, and women who want to be men, suffer from “gender identity disorder.”
So transgenders don’t need special legal protections. What they really need is psychiatric help.
They are different than other minorities in this country. They choose to change their gender. They were not born a different color. This is a lifestyle choice. Next we will be granting special privileges to those who claim they were borne for a different profession rather than the one they have. There is not end to the many different lifestyle choices and no special privileges should be granted on that basis.
They are insane. What other delusions are we by legislative action supposed to participate in? Vampires? Transphibians?
“Are Transgenders the New ‘It’ Minority? “ - That’s a loaded question.
Any Cobbled Together Minority Conglomerate works for the Democrats. Taken together, this “Conglomerate” spells big money and adds up to lots of votes which the Democrats want. Anything goes as long as they stay in power.
I wonder if you took DNA samples from these slash ‘n hack jobs what it would show....
Unchanged X and Y chromosome counts, I’m thinking....
You can’t fool mother nature.
“Next we will be granting special privileges to those who claim they were borne for a different profession rather than the one they have. “
What’s wrong with that? I demand justice! I’m a millionaire trapped in the body of a plumber!
LOL :-)
So, the psychiatric community still considers trans-gendered and trans-sexual, whatever the official term is, as a mental disorder.
In 1973, the psychiatric community dropped homosexuality from its official list of mental disorders.
I expect that this gender identity area, sex change operations, the whole nine yards, will similarly be declared NOT to be any sort of disorder.
