Shrek stepsister draws conservative fire...

| | Comments (1) |

Let me start off by saying to the conservative Illinois Review blog that pretending transgendered people don't exist won't make them go away so get a life! Via Towleroad.com, I have learned that this blog is taking issue with the makers of "Shrek the Third" for "promoting transgenderism" because of the movie's hilarious depiction of a manly stepsister.
aaaaaaaashrek.jpgIt writes: "Shrek's not the problem. It's the awkward inclusion of a transvestite and the uselessness of the character himself (herself?) in the story that is troubling. Right in the midst of a warm 'traditional family' setting, the film writers place a man dressed as a woman in with Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White (the good gals). The crossdressing character simply doesn't make sense, except as a ploy to desensitize children and parents to transgenders. Homosexual activists now are careful to not only use the term 'LGBTs' as a unit, they are more boldly now declaring lesbians-gays-bisexuals-transgenders as a unit pushing together as one for civil rights. Those confused about their sexual roles are pushing for equal rights to be free to publicly demonstrate their odd sexual behavior. For transgenders, appearing to be a different sex in public is their particular turn on. We need to understand that acceptance of this sexual behavior is just another step moving our world toward sexual chaos."

I can't BELIEVE the ignorance. And, as Towleroad correctly points out: transgender is different than transvestite!
Plus, we do not know whether the stepsister is transgendered. All we know is that she is very masculine.
