"A "female to male" "transgender" conference attended last week by hundreds of young women, including teenagers, featured show-and-tell breast-removal workshops for females trying to be "men,"

I thought this would wind you all up

Not only is so much of the information wrong in that article, it is just ridiculous. Based on the title I was thinking that it had been the conference I went to in Philadelphia and I was about to get even more involved.

Regardless of the content all the air quoting makes me want to punch the "author"

Nah, it's from 2002, but I just stumbled across it.

HRC so isn't the world's leading homosexual organization.

One thing that I've been thinking about reading this article is...well...what the heck convention is this? I don't really understand what S&M and leather groups are doing if it's a thing specifically for FTMs. Also, what the eff is this person doing at a transgender conference if they dislike/are ignorant of FTMs? Why is transgender in quotes but homosexuality is not!?

D:

Apparently, this guy has been very involved in opposing the gay/transgender movement.  What a piece of crap.

But...that means people exist that are gay but people that are trans don't exist?

well people that are trans exist but probably fall under the homosexual label so therefore the word transgender without quotations is unnecessary

I shouldn't have read the damned article. I was in such a good mood today...
**CK. I Hate people...

Also if anyone wants to get anymore riled up go all the way down to the bottom where it talks about the author. Click the link to the organization the author founded called Americans for Truth(About Homosexuality). Thats a fun site.

But then why doesn't homosexuality have quotes?

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT I AM COMMENTING AS I AM AS IF I WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE AUTHOR. I DO NOT FEEL TRANS PEOPLE DO NOT EXIST.

I don't want people to get the wrong idea...warnings are needed.

Aydan: Don't let it get to you. Just laugh at the ignorant morons.

lol I'm confusing myself.

Also I would like to put the same disclaimer up. Obviously I don't think that being trans is the same as being extra gay.

Your a troublemaker I see Ryan.   

I didn't read the article but I can just imagine the religious propaganda, the deliberate misunderstandings and the half truths it must contain.

Good thing I'm secure enough in myself to not pay any mind to someone who has no idea what it is like to be in my shoes.

So gross! I think my favourite bit is where he talks about scars, where full breasts once were. It's just all OH NO WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF BOOOOOOBS. 

Puke. That website is full of crap, in a funny way.

WTH  . well the world is full of all kinds of stupid ,retarded haters of different groups of people , i either totally ignore it , or fix the wrong concepts to people exposed to misinforming articles/media if i could , and although i tried a lot , i was never capable of laughing at things like this or find it amusing

This says it all; it's just a fascist organization. The author is a fascist. Result: You'll get bias, and nothing more.

"After barely making it through Reardon's "Chest Surgey" slide show without fainting..."

Wuss. Or would that be- in the author's words- "wuss"?

Nah, it's from 2002, but I just stumbled across it.

Quit wasting our time, old news is never exciting.  But for you, who seem to love 2002, The Eminem Show, Nellyville, and Let Go by Avril Lavigne are all going to be real big in your world real soon.
