Today is a confusing day for many in this country.

Not me, of course. I’m not a bastard.
That's right, son.

The ‘trans dad’ cartoon op-ed is a reminder that the legacy media have a sneering disdain for real fathers — and reality.

Excerpt:



For many Americans, Father’s Day is an opportunity to spend time with family and show the dads in their lives (and specifically their own fathers) how much they appreciate all they do. Which means that for the legacy media outlets like The New York Times it’s a day to run propaganda for mentally ill women who think they become dads by removing female body parts and growing facial hair.
Left-wing media are no strangers to belittling dads, but there are different phases to the anti-father campaign, and the Times is apparently in the “anyone with a testosterone-injection-induced beard is just as good as a dad” phase. In a 25-frame cartoon “opinion piece” the Times ran Sunday, Clair “Zach” Ellams describes “living as a trans man since I was 18 years old” and then says she had to “learn how to be a trans dad” when she had a daughter, Elliot.

Of course, the op-ed is everything one might expect: Ellams’ daughter displays childlike honesty and asks perfectly reasonable questions about how Ellams got a mustache and how long she had breasts. And then Ellams presents her daughter as making her “happy and secure” by affirming her new identity. In fact, Elliot is purportedly the one teaching Ellams how to “embrace” her trans-identification: Elliot lives like a kid who has fun and who’s comfortable with her personality, which is (somehow) clearly analogous to Ellams “embracing” her identity by undergoing body-mutilating surgery and cross-sex hormones.

Wonder if they did the same on Mother's Day? Not that I hope they did. Just...would be interesting.
