More trans-ignorance (veiled in anti-rape rhetoric)

This piece couldn’t be more ridiculous. While its seeming purpose of being a “calling out” of the large number of New York politicians who have been accused and convicted of rape and sexual harassment, it does anything but:

Dennis Gallagher, the Queens councilman recently indicted on charges of raping a 52-year-old grandmother he met at a Middle Village bar, is just the latest in a long line of New York City pols to have been accused of behaving badly.
At the turn of the last century, a cigar-smoking, hard-drinking, womanizing Tammany insider named Murray Hall was discovered upon death to actually be a woman. When Hall died in 1901, a friend who knew him, er, her, through her work in the State Senate remarked, “A woman? Why, he’d line up to the bar and take his whisky like any veteran, and didn’t make faces over it, either.”
Ninety-one years later, Sol Wachlter, chief judge of the state’s highest court and a presumed front-runner for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, was busted by the FBI for harassing his ex-mistress after he mailed her threatening letters and sent a condom to her teenage daughter.

So what exactly does the second paragraph have to do with this story? Oh right, those rapists and trans folks are all the same! A deviant is a deviant, right?? Blech. And it only get better with its “expert’s” quote:

‘In Albany everybody is sleeping with everybody,’ said Dr. Bernie Katz, a noted relationship expert. ‘Plus, men have this stupid idea that they picked up in middle school that no really means yes. Let’s face it we men never grow up.’

Wow. I mean, wow. Not only does rape mean “sleeping around” and boys learn about rape in middle school, but all men never really get rid of that ole rapist/school boy mentality!
What a waste of a decent story. Thanks to MAC for the link.
