Media's New Mania: Transfixed by Transgender

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/katie-yoder/2013/09/03/media-s-new-mania-transfixed-transgenderBack to school is an exciting time of year – new classmates, new subjects, new books, new gender and a new court-invented right to use the boys or girls room, depending on how you currently "identify."
Welcome to the brave new world of "the next civil-rights struggle." From a California law decreeing that any student has the right to use any gender-specific restroom and play on any gender-specific sports team he or she (or she or he) wants, biology be d**ned, to LGBT activists counseling network honchos on more sensitive TV portrayals, transgender is all the rage among liberals and media types.
The campaign to normalize gender confusion relies on emotional appeal. The media present "adorable" "transgender" 6-year-olds or teen couples who transitioned genders together. Or, for a child still unsure of his or her gender, lefty sites like Huffington Post and Slate enthusiastically recommend transgender children's cartoons and transgender kid camps where little boys dress as "princesses." It's all part of the effort to "loosen the reins of gender expression," as NPR put it.
