Its about Chaz Bono, who, if you don't know, is a Transgender MAN. that is to say, at one point he was biologically female, but is now not, as he uses male pronouns, takes testosterone and identifies as a MAN. Yes, gender change is something that is perticularly scary and "threatning" in our culture, but people need to get over it already.
So here's FOX news (ok, its fox, i should expect this, but this is one part of a much bigger debate) having a conniption becasue Chaz is going on Dancing With the Stars with a Female partner. Fox would like you to shield your children from this horror. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ARTICLE.
Why is it stupid to shield children from life? well, first of all, you're breading hate, which gets people beat on badly both verbally and physically, like this recent incident at McDonalds. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ARTICLE
But the other piece that makes this so rediculous is that acts of gender variance all all around us, whether we know it or not. For example, here is lady Gaga's current video You and I, which, in case you didn't know, the person on the piano bench is her, as is the man on the top of the piano (her in drag). She would have passed as a man if I hadn't told you, wouldn't she?? CLICK HERE TO SEE YOU AND I
And, lest we forget, children are the most accepting people on earth, they take people at face value, and we could all stand to learn a lesson from them. They only hate and learn to be racist, sexist, and homophhobic, transphobic, etc becasue we teach them to be that way. Take this video of a child's reaction to two gay men at a party.
