HE'S CO-OPTED MY LIFE!

http://trickster108.blogspot.com/2010/10/hes-co-opted-my-life.htmlReading through the daily stack of trans related news items posted by the awesome archivists over at TG News, I stumbled upon an article from The Christian Post about the National Conference on Christian Apologetics held in Charlotte, NC last weekend. The column featured one of the conference's speakers, Dr. Michael Brown. As I started reading, it seemed like just another in a series of fear campaign columns we're accustomed to from neo fundamentalist Christian activists. By the time I was near to finishing I was wondering how the hell this so called doctor had co-opted and appropriated my life?
Dr. Brown has written some 20 books and is popular on the neo fundy fear campaign circuit. He is something akin to a "Jew for Jesus"...(Hey...I'm Jewish!)...and his message is that it's time they (the Christian right) start waking up to the trans/homosexual agenda. Would you believe it? This didn't occur to him until about six years prior, but it's on his "radar" now. School systems are trying to find ways to discontinue discrimination against these non-conformists who, by the way, do not constitute a "protected class of individuals". Society is ready to embrace these deviants who attempt to blur the sexes and this bothers Brown..
