Apparently feeling outgunned by the Media Research Center on the Chaz Bono freakout beat, WorldNetDaily called in the heavy anti-gay artillery for some Bono-bashing: the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer. And he delivers his hate in a Sept. 13 WND column:
Chaz Bono is not a “he,” Chaz Bono is a “she.” She is a “she” in every single cell of her body and will be until the day she dies. Her DNA from the moment of conception was indisputably female, and it will always be female.
[…]
No amount of surgical mutilation and hormone injections can change that. God designed her to be a female, and a female she will be for the rest of her life.The bottom line here is that, according to America’s mental-health professionals, Chaz Bono is a mentally disturbed individual.
Chaz Bono needs to be helped, not lionized. She needs restorative therapy rather than stardom. She needs to become a patient, not a celebrity.
Anyone who cares genuinely about people will want that for her. No one who loves people would want anyone to be stuck in the swamp of pathologies that accompany such a disorder. When individuals are so mentally unsettled that they start cutting body parts off themselves, it’s time to get them some help.
And it is possible for an individual like Chaz to reconcile her psychological identity with her biological identity.
Fischer goes on to cite Fox News’ Dr. Keith Ablow as a supposed authority — but even Ablow’s fellow Fox Newsers want nothing to do with his attack on Bono. Fox host Megyn Kelly told Ablow that “you seem to be adding to the hate,” later saying that Ablow’s remarks were “irresponsible and dangerous.”
It’s all too appropriate that the anti-gay WND turned to one of the most virulent gay-haters out there to peddle more hate.
