Transphobia of the Traditional Values Coalition
Edited on Sat Jul-22-06 11:10 AM by ck4829
Yesterday, I found out that the Traditional Values Coalition likes to use a derogatory term to refer to Transgendered people, they like to call them "She-Males".

So to continues on that, I found out some more information.

"Something called the Traditional Values Coalition has issued a parental advisory about "Shrek 2," claiming the movie furthers what it calls "the transgender agenda," an "effort to deconstruct the biological reality of male and female."

The warning says, "An earlier scene in the movie features a wolf dressed in grandma's clothing and reading a book when Prince Charming encounters him. Later, one of the characters refers to the wolf's gender confusion."

So I called Frank York, the editorial director for the Traditional Values Coalition, and asked him: "Are you serious?"

"Yes," he said. "Yes, I am."

He said, "What they showed in the film was supposed to be humorous, but if you look at the transgender agenda ... there are more serious things going on here."

York discussed the "transgender agenda" at length and I'm still not sure what he meant. He did say something about two male-to-female transgender people who tried to get married in Kansas. I must have been out getting popcorn during that scene.

He also suggested that I do a Web search for "she males." He said, "You'll see things that'll make your hair curl." "

This clinches it, we need to email the TVC and ask them if they are getting leads about the Liberal-GLBT-Hollywood-Muslim Alliance from the porn industry. When the term is not being used as something derogatory, then it's about porn.
