I find it amazing how this whole transgender PC culture evolved. First, TV talk show hosts such as Oprah, Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer dug these freaks up and gave them a forum to "tell their story" Then Hollywood and the far left embraced these people as if they were "normal" rather than just lock them up in an asylum where they belong. Then legislators get involved passing laws to "protect" these individuals---I'd rather they passed laws to protect my grandchildren FROM them. Now, we also get to pay for their aberrancy---if you cannot afford the surgery, just commit a felony and the penal system will pay, or join the military and commit treason, and the feds will pay. We also get to hear them whine incessantly about wanting "equal rights" Now, in NYC, your 1st amendment right to free speech has been denied, with the threat of a huge fine. Face it, a transgender can walk up to any of us on the street and call us any name they want---free speech. But if you so much refer to it as a he instead of a she, you can be facing legal issues. When are we going to take back the America we grew up in?
