But the wilful misgendering is the part that made me reach for the keyboard, especially from the <i>today</i> programme. Our press is unfortunately often as bad as that elsewhere in the world, but one likes to think parts of the media are above all that.<br /><br />At least the public nature of the Beeb means I'll get some response from one or other of my missives.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-55479615843247416722010-11-01T13:34:39.171+00:002010-11-01T13:34:39.171+00:00Hi, Jenny!

I find it more than a bit absurd that every time that there's a story, whether positive or negative, when the person in the headline is transsexual, that the sensationalist media always zeroes in on the transsexuality to the exclusion of all else! One couldn't imagine them making any mentioning that someone has type 2 diabetes in a similar context, it's as irrelevant to the story as the transsexualisim of this woman is!<br /><br /> Dani xxxDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975813317460009585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-64619023049138439342010-11-01T09:42:53.529+00:002010-11-01T09:42:53.529+00:00It is sad to see that the press on your side of th...It is sad to see that the press on your side of the pond is just as bad as they are here in the USA, when it comes to transsexuals.<br /><br />At least they didn't feel it necessary to include her male name!Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128903928694816585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-10502069422738553492010-11-01T09:28:01.827+00:002010-11-01T09:28:01.827+00:00Well put, JennyWell put, JennyDru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-62678099915346344282010-11-01T09:09:10.447+00:002010-11-01T09:09:10.447+00:00Mikki's style may not be exactly street wear, ...Mikki's style may not be exactly street wear, but if a genetic girl wore that outfit for a Scrabble contest, she'd probably be applauded for not taking the whole thing too seriously.<br /><br />She's presenting as female, so you treat her as such. It's a pity this has become a careless 'skateboarding duck' story.<br /><br />Cat.Cathy Lincolnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150604830009189557noreply@blogger.com
