Title: Newspapers/Transsexuals
Post by: amdee on January 05, 2013, 10:01:37 AM
Any idea as to why when a Transsexual person hits the newspaper other stories/links surrounding the story are related to sex crimes. murders etc. Also why do  "some"  Transsexuals decide to go to the press when they have only just come out and present to the world as how most perceive us as not knowing how to dress or having a few days old beard on face still, i really do not understand this. I am not being mean i just cannot get my head around this issue and to be honest i find it a little upsetting.

Simple. Dirty sex stories sell newspapers. End statement. Nothing more nothing less.
Does a newspaper care if the truth is trashed in the process?  Not at all.

Good news and the truth have NEVER sold a newspaper since they were invented.

If their stories offend you. Don't buy or read them. You'll certainly be doing something better than if you were reading them.
