Pulling back the curtain on one fraud, we may as well take a look at the T, the caboose in our crowded acronym. While any gender-confused – it is Gender Identity Disorder, after all – is entitled to the happiness that may come his or her (or whatever that crazy, genderless, possessive pronoun is that students use on hippie college campuses) way, the transgender onslaught into the gay-rights movement is a drag, literally. It's men and women in drag, and they're dragging the rest of us down. How are we normal gay and lesbian people going to get much further with Congress when we've got somebody like a transgender ''female-to-male'' woman getting pregnant for People magazine. How can that not make us look like a freak show?
