Worth noting, the National Post article is written by Michael "there's no such thing as a transsexual" Coren, and the paper is owned by CanWest Global.

Maybe he was just looking in the wrong place. According to the crazy music survey that I just took, transsexual is a sexual orientation now.

That National Post article sounds like a lot of what I hear from the conservative talk shows here in the US when it comes to their opinions on how the left tends to view the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Israel can do no wrong, they're a "democracy" and the Arab states aren't, etc. They ignore things like Sabra and Shatilla. I won't bring Qana into it, since there is dispute about those, though I thing those were as bad as any other slaughter that the IDF has been responsible for.

Michael's ludicrous article concerning his rant of "There's No Such Thing As A Transsexual" is completely without merit, substance, or cognitive thought.

Coren, appears to be a self absorbed, unprogressive individual, who has not one iota of understanding of what a Transsexual individual is, as he irresponsibly & immaturely attempts to dismiss, what medical science has proven, by his nonsensical article.

The technology and scientific studies, here in the United States and abroad, confirm the existence of a multivariable distribution of male and female hormones, in a fetus’ brain resulting in numerous anomalies of the human genome in nature.

As a researcher, activist and advocate in all aspects of transgender education, I have spent a good part of my life trying to figure out just what happened to me. The overwhelming desire in wanting to dress, and live full time as the opposite gender has been an extraordinarily tumultuous journey since I was seven years of age.

Skeptics concerning this incredible anomaly of nature need to further their education through continuous extensive research worldwide. Being transgender has been a part of this planet for millions of years.

When a human being who is transgender tries to exist in a society of bigots, religious fanatics, and agenda-seeking judgmental persons, their attempts at survival within these confines can be drastically devastating to mind, body, and soul.

My advice to unprogressive Human Beings is to become increasingly more educated on what it is like being transsexual and then take a good, hard, intellectual look from an open-minded perspective to know that it is that is not a choice, but an in utero, biological phenomenon.

Uh. I suspect that I and most of the people on my friends list are part of the proverbial choir. Not that it's not a good preach, but if you're trying for drive-by education, I think we're past the 101 stage here.
