Toenails = Transgender


In case you missed the hubbub, J Crew recently had a photo spread on its webpage of a mother and son spending a Saturday together, and the goofy time-wasting activity of choice was toenail painting.

Which means, depending on how you look at these things (ie. if you think like Fox News), this kid is going to be a tranny/gay/bi/scarred for life.

Click through to the original post.

There's been a lot of backlash since that post was written, mainly making the obvious point that toenail painting does not MAKE boys transgender . . . any more than trimming a girl's hair short MAKES her a lesbian.  There seems to be definite cause-effect confusion when it comes to these issues (especially when it comes to Fox News and their logical processes).

And anyway, maybe this wouldn't be such a big deal in the first place if we weren't TERRIFIED of people who are gay or bi or gender queer.  People are people.  Get over it.

And the Fox News guy actually wrote, "It will be a very big deal if...neither gender is motivated to protect the nation by marching into combat against other men and risking their lives."

Yes, a big deal indeed. What if they gave a war and nobody <came&rt; showed up?
