Because LJ's posting servers are down...
Picked this up from Box Turtle Bulletin; they speak with an Ex-Gay Watch representative, and it's well worth listening to. I literally cannot speak, I'm so offended.
You can see all four cartoons here. The blog GoodAsYou gets their rage on as well.
This the the kind of rhetoric a so-called "legitimate" organization like the Traditional Values Coalition is using to fight the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. People in a position of power are supposed to take them seriously while they produce this utterly offensive claptrap. When they photoshop babies in with men in the perfectly legitimate job of male erotic dancers.
It's just ridiculous.
To further make it worse, one would think an organization like National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality would at least understand the sensitivity of using such a word, when they claim to want to rehabilitate homosexuals.
"Many individuals who consider themselves transgendered, undergo only partial surgeries or hormone treatments and identify as She/Males. Numbers of these individuals become part of the online pornography industry. Sexually explicit She/Male sites number in the hundreds online." Genderqueers: Lesbians Living Between Genders.
No. Just...no.
This isn't rhetoric, this isn't intelligent discussion. I don't even think there's a shred of intelligence in any of these comics. Just the drunk monkey at a computer. I want to say something witty, something light to defuse the pure offense, but there's nothing. This is so utterly repulsive that it chokes off any response but rage.
Someone give me a baby, that I may punch it. |
