Conservatives and the Transgender Time Warp
Brynn Tannehill - July 25, 2014

"Since the TIME magazine cover story, "The Transgender Tipping Point," there has been a distinct whiff of panic coming from social conservatives. The idea of transgender people, and their issues, being taken seriously in mainstream culture was seen as some far-off, almost-too-horrible-to-be-believed future. As a result, when this moment came, the right was left without a coherent, pre-planned strategy."

I think it's awesome that the knuckle-draggers out there have empowered me to destroy the so-called "moral fabric of society" (and yes, I want to puke every time I hear that phrase) by merely existing.

Every time I hear the comment that we're destroying the moral fabric of society, I want to say, "Oh come on ... what LGBT person do you know would do anything that would harm fabric!?"

Considering the fabric they are peddling is an old and worn out burlap bag, I have trouble figuring out what to do with it that is fashionable!!  The stuff makes horrible underwear as I remember from a college initiation, but maybe that is their use for the stuff.  It would explain a lot.
