Source Summary

Some of you may be shocked to learn that staff at Heritage Middle School in St. Leonard, MD are forcing school children to crossdress in order to make them understand the hardship trans and gay people are facing. It must be true because here’s a photo of the school children: “These Two Children Were Paired As A Post-Op And Pre-Op Transsexual Couple” Horrifying, isn’t it? Right wing activist groups thought so: Who’s PFOX you ask? Well, PFOX is an ex-gay/ex-trans group and since this story fit their pre-existing narrative, I guess they felt they should pass it on without conducting any fact checking. The same thing happened with a group that tried to stop a trans-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance from taking effect in San Antonio, Texas: The story even made it to conservative AM radio: In fact, the story is a HOAX. There is no Heritage Middle School and the story

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“Right-wing gets it wrong. Again.” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to education and youth, while also engaging violence, safety, and dehumanization. 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 2013 at Transadvocate.com, “Right-wing gets it wrong. Again.” provides dated evidence of how education and youth was being argued in relation to violence, safety, and dehumanization. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is criminal justice and public safety and public accommodations and facilities. It links that institutional frame to education and youth and violence, safety, and dehumanization, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
