"This Has Become So Absurd": WaPo Comments Section Explodes After Transgender Op-Ed...

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

While Jeff Bezos is trying to rebrand the Washington Post as a more moderate rag - causing mass resignations last month at the thought of being less partisan - he might want to check in with the paper's new Opinion editor after his last one rage-quit as part of the February freakout.

To wit, a transgender man wrote an op-ed with an absolutely retarded analogy, suggesting that  transgender individuals are like the bad guy at the end of "Scooby-Doo" that gets unmasked as his true self.

The terrible analogy continues...

The key word in this revelation is "really," the adverb that means "what something is in actual fact, as opposed to what it might have been appearing, or pretending, to be."

I'm willing to accept the fact that Mr. Withers was not who he had been pretending to be. But in other instances, "really" has (as the "Scooby-Doo" theme song goes) "some work to do now." Is Clark Kent "really" Superman? Is Bob Dylan "really" Robert Zimmerman? Was Mark Twain "really" Samuel Clemens?

Is a butterfly "really" a caterpillar? -WaPo

The author of course then jumps into "the Trump administration's attacks on us," and insists "transgender women are not "really" men. We are women. We may have different histories than other women, but then, every woman has her own history."

Make it stop...

Readers have had it...

At the bottom of the article, the comments section was absolutely lit up - as leftist WaPo readers made it clear that they're over it, and this is exactly why they lost the election.

Let's take a look...

"Left-of-Center Moderate" (in the 4th highest 'recommended' comment) writes:

Democrats are always accusing the Republicans of being the ones who "bring up trans issues". But yet we get essays like this. And it's not Republicans who created and regularly deploy such vocabulary as "gender assigned at birth", "pregnant people" . . . or who put their pronouns in their email signatures. And it was at the DNC a couple of months ago that a big brouhaha developed around "adequate trans representation" on the committee.
