Yea, I’ve people on Fox News more than once express displeasure over that, for lack of a better word, cunt. And this Dr. Keith Ablow, WTF is wrong with this guy? Has he lost his fucking mind? This person is really a doctor?? This idiot’s more fucking insane than Beck, O’Reilly and Palin put together. Holy shit, I can’t believe a “normal” so-called intelligent human living anywhere but in a tribe of neanderthals thinks like this guy. OMG! ---

And good to hear conservatives hating on Nancy Grace too. Question is, why does she still have a show if everybody hates her? ---

Years ago, there used to be some sort of French, maybe Parisian thing, a kind of sado-masochistic dance with a guy in a horizontal stripe shirt and maybe a beret, and the chick similar, and they did some sort of dance with the guy like flinging her around, and stuff. Maybe called an “apache dance”, though I have no idea why. Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace doing that. I’d totally watch it. Or maybe Ann Coulter doing the Dance of the 3,821 Veils. So, you’d have plenty of time to change the channel before you had to gouge your eyes out. ---

I don’t normally watch that crap show, but it will definately be worth it if I get to see Nancy Grace fall on her ugly god damnned face! 😃 ---

I read the article, specifically the last part, as a doctor that’s bitter that Chaz isn’t _his_ client. ---

Ah yes, Dr. Keith Ablow. Fairly recently seen [posing on the cover of a book](http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1451625510/ref=sib_dp_pop_fc?ie=UTF8&p=S001#reader-link) which I presume is about alternative parenting lifestyles, with his co-author and life partner Glenn Beck. ---

> [@](#): > > It is a toxic and unnecessary byproduct of the tragic celebration of transgender surgery that millions of young people who do watch “Dancing with the Stars” will have to ponder this question: Maybe my problems really stem from the fact that I’m a girl inside a boy’s body (or a boy inside a girls body) Wow, it would indeed be tragic if young people suffering from transsexualism considered it a disorder treatable by medical science, and not something you can just pray away at Jesus camp or at the Bachmann clinic. ---

Last time Dr. Ablow decided to spew his transphobic vitriol at Chaz Bono, Fox News apparently [disappeared the post](http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2011/05/18/177426/fox-news-transphobia-wipe/). Of course, nothing on the internet ever really disappears: > [@](#): > > Second, while Chaz Bono may now feel that her journey toward self-acceptance has ended, I am not convinced. I say this because, absent the gender politics involved, I was taught to consider Chaz Bono’s contention that she is male as a psychotic delusion—a fixed and false belief. > Psychosis is not a predictor of long-term emotional well-being or stability. > Mind you, I am not judging Ms. Bono. But there is nothing substantially different from a woman believing she is a man than there is about a woman believing she is a CIA agent being followed by the KGB (when in reality, she is, say, a salesperson at J. Crew). This is also the guy who [freaked out](http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/fox-news-attacks-j-crew-president-for-ad-with-sons-toenails-pink/media/2011/04/11/18677) about a J. Crew ad featuring a mother who’s seven year old son likes pink nail polish. > [@](#): > > Yeah, well, it may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid — and maybe a little for others who’ll be affected by your “innocent” pleasure. ---

Every single hetero woman and most of the rest of the people will want one, if only for conversation value. I really think this guy is missing out on an excellent investment opportunity. I dunno, who wants a green penis. ---
