"Anyone who's been paying attention to transgender issues this year shouldn't be surprised that a lot of people are upset about the trailer for "Zoolander 2." The movie doesn't open until next year, but already an online petition asking people to boycott the film is gaining steam, mainly because the short clip features Benedict Cumberbatch's mocking portrayal of a "non-binary" model and Owen Wilson's tasteless question about whether Cumberbatch has "a hot dog or a bun "

Pretty forward for the Wall Street Journal, the paper that published an editorial by Paul McHugh last year questioning whether it is helpful for us to transition.
