I couldn't agree more on all your points. I do think, however, that Maureen Dowd's ability to reach a major audience -- even with a substandard column -- is a net gain for awareness and tolerance.
Here's Maureen Dowd's column on the beating of a TS in a Baltimore McDonalds and on the larger issues of being a transgender. The Comments about her column are worth reading, too.
The people that beat this woman up or the ones who just stood by and watched? I only wish the bystanders could be charged with crimes too. My heros are the lone employee and the lady in the pantsuit who come to Chrissy's rescue. Hpefully they will throw the book at these two perps but I doubt if they will be "rehabilitated". Be sure to watch the video in the article below - you will be impressed with Chrissy and her ability to speak rationally about this incident so soon afterward.
