so i encountered this post on the syracuse.com blog site entitled “sex change hospital” by karla scoon reid. you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. to wit:
But, it’s the touching patients’ stories, not the medical techniques, which will draw viewers into Trinidad. In the premier episode, Vicki Estrada, a 56-year-old male-to-female transsexual, was supported throughout his genital reassignment surgery by his loving father. His father’s unconditional love was profoundly moving.
emphasis mine.
of course, in the next paragraph, regarding an f2m:
Another woman was having a hysterectomy to further complete her transformation to becoming a man. Jim Howley, a female-to-male transsexual, had tried to commit suicide seven times. His mother was distraught, believing she’d lost her daughter in this surgery. Later, however, the mother realized that it’s better to have a son who is alive, than a dead daughter.
holy mixed pronouns, batman!
pretty confusing considering the opening paragraph states:
“Sex Change Hospital” easily could have exploited people in the guise of informing or entertaining television viewers.
right, no “exploitation”, just blatant disregard for and erasure of people’s self identification.
oh right, and in the first quote, there’s that “unconditional love” bit. because when it comes to trans people, regular love just doesn’t cut it. we’re so horrible and monstrous that it takes “unconditional love” to show any kind of support.
