The Anti, I mean American, Family Association's epic transphobia fail
The conservative American Family Association is calling on President Barack Obama to fire Amanda Simpson, Obama's transgender appointee to the Commerce Department, because the appointment "puts the weight of the federal government behind the normalization of sexual deviancy."

"'Amanda' is a biological male in every cell of his body, and no amount of surgical mutilation is ever going to change that," AFA President Tim Wildmon said in a press release circulated Thursday. "It's a mistake for our president to appoint such a sexually confused individual to a position of public responsibility."

Wildmon went on to say that "gender is assigned by the Creator at the moment of conception, and no healthy society should ever regard sexual mutilation, even if it's self-inflicted, as something that's normal and merits approval."

1. "gender is assigned by the Creator at the moment of conception", no it's not. Gender also refers to the social and cultural values one associates with being male, female, or transgendered.

2. Secondly, there are no hormonal or physical differences between zygotes up until a couple weeks.

Who is in favor of renaming the AFA to the BLOA; the Between the Legs Obsession Association?

1. Isn't the election of Vitter, Craig etc. "normalizing sexual deviancy?"
Those are your folks, you anti-Christ christians.
