Source Summary

That should be the title of Peter LaBarbera’s Americans for Truth (AFT) website. His latest post attacks sports reporter Christine Penner. “I challenge ‘Mike/Christine’ to do a column describing, in detail, ‘sex-reassignment surgery’ – whereby a penis is turned into a makeshift ‘vagina’ — assuming he is one day going to go that route. (‘Transitioning’ people are required to live one year as the opposite sex before undergoing the horrifying operation.) Then we’ll see just how ‘natural’ all of this is.” Is breast augmentation or a vasectomy natural? How about putting people on ventilators when they are ill, is that natural? As far as the operation being horrifying, who would it horrify (certainly not me! Give me $16,000 and I’ll have it done tomorrow)? If it isn’t horrifying to the person having it, then who does it horrify? If you want to get technical, the first SRS surgery was done

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“Extremist Christians For Dishonesty, Hate, and Misinformation” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to healthcare and medicine, while also engaging transgender identity and history. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.

Historical significance

As a publication record from 2007 at Transadvocate.com, “Extremist Christians For Dishonesty, Hate, and Misinformation” provides dated evidence of how healthcare and medicine was being argued in relation to transgender identity and history. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is civil rights and anti-discrimination. It links that institutional frame to healthcare and medicine and transgender identity and history, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
