TiT: Your framing, it burns my eyes

Today in transphobia, I present to you:

Exhibit Bad: Transgender Dog to be Given a Home

Whut.

First, the dog in question had what many people think of as "partially formed" "male genitalia" and "female genitalia" which isn't f---ing trans when we're talking about people. Second, we're not. It's a f---ing dog, and therefore isn't trans. Non-human animals aren't gay, or trans, or crossdressers, or Republican, or stylish, or affluent, or any other adjectives that humans apply to describe how other humans are situated within arbitrary cultural contexts.
