One of the leaders in enforcing the Media Research Center’s anti-gay agenda is Tim Graham. He comes through again in a May 21 NewsBusters post screeching about a Washington Post article about a 5-year-old who was born a girl but insists on living as a boy:
Somehow, The Washington Post always picks Sundays for articles on how God makes mistakes. Screaming at the top of Sunday’s paper was a picture of a little girl getting her head buzzed with the headline “TRANSGENDER AT FIVE,” and “She first declared she was a boy when she was 2 years old. Her parents brushed it off by slowly concluded this wasn’t just a phase.” This wasn’t news. It was propaganda, and if you don’t like it, they dare you to cancel your subscription.
The article, by liberal Post columnist (and former reporter) Petula Dvorak, naturally referred to how everyone has grown to know “transgenders” from Chaz Bono on “Dancing with the Stars.” It also repeatedly rejected scientific fact in referring to this troubled girl in male terms like “he” and “his” – including the “instructional” video the Post put online.
Graham is further upset that being transgender is moving away from being a “disorder” and that “therapists are now organizing to remove the term ‘disorder’ and replace it with ‘gender incongruence.'”
After huffing that “This is really a very long editorial badly disguised as a news story,” Graham concludes:
The Washington Post can’t allow this subject to be a debate. It has to be all told from the standpoint of “protective” parents who insist the whole society has to adopt this “disorder” as their own.
What business is it of Graham’s how this child expresses a gender or how the child’s parents learn to deal with it? Graham is utterly lacking in compassion for this situation of this family, and he’s appalled that anyone else would have some.
That’s just pure hate. And if you’re not a right-winger like Graham, hate is all he has to offer you.
