TOP MODEL Contestant is Transgender - Yuck!.
http://cheekypinkgirl.blogspot.com/2008/10/top-model-contestant-is-transgender.htmlI confess I had some very uncharitable thoughts about the author when
I read that. I am a most imperfect human being, and I don't even have
the excuse of ignorance as a defence.
And at An Archdiocese of Wash DC Catholic.
http://awashingtondccatholic.blogspot.com/2008/10/montgomery-county-voters.htmlI've had some good results when debating with Catholics. Even when
they disagree, they tend to be logical and rational, and even
charitable. Alas, we sometimes operate from very different premises.
I am extremely encouraged by the fact that I'm not the only one giving
rebuttal to these articles. I try to be cool and scientific, whereas
many other replies are blisteringly scathing. I have been tempted,
sometimes very tempted, to give a dose of well-deserved vitriol with
my reply. But what's the point? Either they're operating from false
assumptions and pardonable ignorance, so deserve some slack being cut
for them, or they are evil bigots who it's not worth wasting spare
electrons on.
