Title: Tell the Daily Mail: Stop Dehumanizing Transgender People
Post by: Nemo on September 24, 2011, 04:14:32 PM
In a September 19, 2011 article about expanding passport gender options to include a third identity, the Daily Mail referred to "transgender people" in its headline. Placing the phrase in quotation marks negates the existence of an entire group of people.

Tell the Daily Mail to stop dehumanizing transgender people.

The article's author, James Slack, also referred to intersex people in quotes. To add further insult, the article also uses inappropriate, insensitive terms like "sex-swap" to describe transgender people.

Sign this petition to tell the Daily Mail that transgender and intersex people deserve to be treated just like any other group of people--with respect and without quotation marks.

Signed. The Daily Heil is the foulest of hate rags and let us never forget its history of backing fascism.
