Chaz Bono, the "transsexual" woman who underwent plastic surgery and takes male hormones in an effort to appear to be a man, and who asserts she is a man, will appear on the upcoming season of " Dancing with the Stars", according to ABC, the network which airs the show. He will be partnered with a woman.

Casting Chaz Bono on "Dancing with the Stars" is part of Chaz's victory tour, which has included appearances on talk shows and the release of a book called "Transition."

I advise parents to not allow their children to watch the episodes in which Chaz appears.

Too late! I unfortunately read it, and somehow didn't notice who'd written it until I got to the end. Bleagh, I need a shower... or perhaps an exorcism!  ::)

It's still up on foxnews.com

Someone linked me to it and out of pure curiosity I started to read it and then realized who it was written by and immediately felt disgusted. 8D

OOOHHH, NOOOOO!!!!! (sobs in desperation)

Ah, well, life is full of little disappointments. Now I can ask you exactly what bizarre "wisdom" Ablow is inflicting on us this time...although I think I can guess.

Thank goodness that network is not available here.  Or maybe it should be so they can be sued to the back teeth.  Our laws are a bit different to the US when it comes to freedom ofexpressionvilification.

There are always ways around that. In Canada we have similar restrictions, but the Sun network figures out how to get around it. Frame the story well enough, and debate stuff that there isn't really any debate about and you can get your bigotry on TV.
