Exhibit Bad: Transgender Dog to be Given a Home

First, the dog in question had what many people think of as "partially formed" "male genitalia" and "female genitalia" which isn't f---ing trans when we're talking about people. Second, we're not.

Non-human animals aren't gay, or trans, or crossdressers, or Republican, or stylish, or affluent, or any other adjectives that humans apply to describe how other humans are situated within arbitrary cultural contexts.
