'Family Group' Takes Aim At Jazz Jennings With Despicable Campaignhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/one-million-moms-jazz-jennings_55d74995e4b04ae49702f396?utm_hp_ref=transgender&kvcommref=mostpopularHuffington Post

One Million Moms, the vehemently right-wing group known for getting worked up over everything from Toys 'R' Us to Oreo Cookies to Chobani yogurt, is back with what could be its most obnoxious conviction yet.
This time, the group is targeting Jazz Jennings, the remarkable transgender teen who has inspired so many through her LGBT advocacy work and TLC series, "I Am Jazz."
In two separate blog posts, one of which was titled "God doesn't make mistakes (but humans do)," One Million Moms condemned the team behind "I Am Jazz," arguing that the show aims "to desensitize America's youth." ***********************************************
This truly is horrible, attacking this young girl for trying to educate people about the difficulties that transgender people, and teens in general face. Although I've yet to see the show, the reviews I've read seemed positive.
I think that the show actually tries to sensitize people to the fact that transgender people are just people, not to be feared or ostracized, but accepted as any human being should.
