Does CNSNews.com managing editor Michael W. Chapman still hate the LGBT community with a passion? You betcha! Chapman grumbled in a Feb. 13 blog post:
In a stunning example of moral sanity and common sense, the Department of Education will now reject any cases dealing with bathroom complaints by transgender students, reported BuzzFeed, and which leftist Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) addressed in a tweet with #ProtectTransStudents.
On Monday, BuzzFeed ran a story headlined, “The Education Department Says it Will Reject Transgender Bathroom Complaints.”
The story noted that the Trump administration, back in February 2017, rescinded Obama-era rules that said public schools should allow transgenders to use the bathroom of their choice, e.g., a male student who imagines he is female may use the ladies room. Since then, liberals and LGBT activists have demanded that the Trump administration clarify its position on this issue.
On Feb. 8, Education Department spokesman Liz Hill told BuzzFeed that the federal Title IX law “prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, not gender identity.”
Note Chapman’s highly biased language, portraying the right-wing policy change as dripping with “moral sanity and common sense” while dismissing critics of it as “liberals” and “leftists.”
Chapman went on to quote his favorite anti-trans doctor, Paul McHugh, claiming that “transgenderism is a ‘mental disorder’ that can be treated and sex change is ‘biologically impossible’ because one cannot change one’s chromosomes.” He didn’t mention that McHugh’s views have been discredited.
Chapman concludes: “Clearly, the proper response to transgenderism is mental health treatment, not bathroom reassignment.” Meanwhile, Chapman’s employer (and, quite likely, Chapman himself) thinks the proper response to homosexuality is conversion therapy.
