What fuels transgender backlash? (CNN shocked at reader response to story)
CNN ^ | September 30, 2011 | Madison Park

(CNN) -- Tuesday's CNN.com story about transgender children and their families shed light on an emotional topic and provoked strong response.

"Transgender kids: Painful quest to be who they are" centered on identity, gender, health, parenting and child development. It's not unusual for a popular story on CNN.com to have hundreds or thousands of responses, but the overwhelmingly negative tone of Tuesday's comments raised the question about the root of the hostility. What exactly provoked such harsh opinions?

Well put!

When did parents put the kids in charge? Too many parents want to be friends, don’t want the responsibility of being a parent or are self-centered.
Children need structure, discipline and love. When they don’t get these things they act out - and they continue this pattern for the rest of their lives.

Is it any wonder why the boy is screwed up? This is what happens when you allow homosexuals to adopt. Sick sick sick.

The lesbian who plays the father role says, (while wearing his/her tie), that “What we are doing to Tammy is injecting ...”

They should be arrested and the child removed.

The facts of the case. Reports of child abuse often garner harsh opinions; the better question would be why this story wouldn't receive disapproval.

males cannot become female and females cannot become males no matter how they mutilate themselves.

It’s a fact.

Denial is stupid.

Adults should be able to do what they want, not kids. And if you want your penis cut off, use your own money, not mine.

Let me rephrase in case you missed the point I was trying to make:

That isn’t authentic freedom, because their rights end where those of another begin.

As has been said before........

Liberalism in its many shapes and forms is a mental disorder.

they want to push this on YOUR KIDS against your will, and if you resist that, you will also be punished.

Human beings are being turned into robots so that they are no longer allowed to have thoughts of their own. Political correctness is simply the dark side wearing a disguise of God.

The politically correct tools that are being used to "save" mankind are the very tools that will destroy it.

Transgender freaks need to remember that houses have a closet for a reason.

Communists think that way, due to their evolutionary materialist worldview.
There is an example of a prominent Marxist with a robot dog that would respond to certain commands. The marxist commented that the difference between the robot dog, a real dog, and a human was just a matter of degree. They all respond to stimulus according to their material makeup.

Another comment - “political correctness” was originally termed “cultural Marxism”, but like always, the left has to lie about what they’re doing, so changed it to the more acceptable term.

the left always plays that name game.
homosexuals , call them gay as it sounds more positive.
Dream act is the amnesty,
undocumented is illegals
increased revenue is increase taxes
it goes on and on

hell they used to be called progressives but that become a dirty word so they used liberal and now reverting back to progressive.

Well to me always it will be homosexuals, queers, illegals
increased taxes etc.

The press even FOX plays their game but like hell will I

When a suicidal child wants to be who he is by killing himself, responsible adults don’t support and assist in the suicide

Yet.

If these “mothers” had given him a spanking in public, they’d be branded abusers. Yet injecting him with hormones to turn him into a girl is given a pass and even celebrated!

CNN is full of twisted freaks.

The left puts a pretty mask on the vilest of passions.

Abortion is the brutal dismembering of a human infant while it's still alive (without as much as an aspirin to dull the pain).
The left refers to this action as "Choice." Who can be against a word like "Choice?"

Homosexuality is two grown adults lusting after the genitals of another from the the same sex. The males are attracted to other mens anuses, are are also known to eat the feces of their sex partners.
The left refers to this behavior as "Gay. " Who can be against a word like "Gay?"

Those who have never done anything for anyone - not even themselves, believe they should wallow in the financial harvest of another who has labored all of his/her adult life.
The left refers to this as "Sharing" Who can be against a word like "Sharing"

Once the mask is removed, the horrors and the ugliness of the left wings agenda is exposed.

The latest one that was almost comical was 0bama repeatedly saying "we" were going to "ask" millionaires to pay more.

Oh, "ask", are you? Really? What happens when they politely decline?

Political Correctness is Cultural Marxism
