I know an article from 8 years ago, but it is funny when looking at this article now, a pop-up ad bemoans the fact of NPR being defunded of taxpayer money, and they are begging for donations.

Also, yeahhhh, NPR was never liberal lefty biased, according to their management.

Good old NPR, giving us yet another example of why they deserve zero taxpayer money.

My advice to NPR: Hire a weirdo, and make up the deficit with an ad campaign. That failed with Bud Light. But it just might work with your audience.

Thank you for finding and posting
This is the exact reason NPR needed to be defended.
They can publish whatever they want but taxpayers will should not have been funding it.

There is no biological condition as trans gender. Trans gender is purely a mental inability to determine and accept the reality of gender

Trans genderism is BLM like politicalization to create an artificial unity where none actually exists

"it's most certainly not reducible to the sex one is assigned at birth"

Right. It most certainly is reducible to the sex one is assigned at conception when the Y chromosome determines male and its absence female.

It's really a simple matter of biology.

Notice how mere academic theory (gender is fluid, not biological) is communicated as “science”, and not the mere belief that it is, while biological fact is called “belief”.

I remember a picture and a story of a Black Vulcan. He’d undergone many surgeries to achieve his chosen identity.

This article alone explains why NPR was defunded.

The people at PBS have been in a tizzy for weeks. One wonders if they have any idea why they were defunded.

From a biological perspective, the main purpose of two genders is reproduction and survival of the species.

If a person is truly other than a reproductive gender, then biology is saying: This person is defective, not useful for survival of the species and should not be reproduced.

Personally, I separate sex from gender. You are either XX or XY. That’s it. However, if you want to identify as a wheel of cheese or a golden retriever named pickles, that’s your choice. It doesn’t mean I have to respect it, nor does it mean I have to accept it. A while back I called someone sir and he got all bent out of shape because I didn’t say ma’am. When I asked him if he sits when he pees, the look on his face was precious. Alinsky says ridicule is the lefts worst enemy.

By the way, who or what organization determines how many genders there are and what they are?

This is what our tax dollars have been paying for - NPR and PBS spreading LGBTQ propaganda especially to our children.

Glad they’ve been defunded. Let those who wish to hear this message - repeatedly - fund the station, not the rest of us.

I am rather intrigued that NPR would put forth such a good example of why cutting off federal dollars is not only a necessary choice but a great one.
