Most interesting aspects:
The reporters got the terminology incorrect for transgender women/men and stated it was a group of transgendered men (when it was women), further reinforcing the probability for discrimination due to the unknown nature of these... creatures. Following that sentence's many nuances, let's look at the problem itself - a breast, exposed - holy Mary Magdalene! Let it be decreed, no breast should be exposed...except on billboards and magazines. Finally, the commentary on this news story has been incredibly ridiculous: "transgenders are not above the law," "pick a gender," etc. all incredibly offensive. But of course, "the transgenders brang the offensive first!" with their boobies.
This event, while comical in every aspect, also shows the lack of understanding of the individual. Aside from the disrespectful, discriminatory, and outright bigoted comments on this article, you have to know if you go to the beach as Mr. Fatty in speedos, or overexposed, you are inviting Ms. Controversy and her bitchy comments. And I bet these trans knew that. Regardless, this issue is just as much a Civil Rights issue as it is a comical one. It also highlights the need for the medieval American to understand "we are more than what is between our legs or atop our chest!"
This f*ckin story man, I can't wait to see it on the Daily Show.
So what happened after people flipped the f*ck out?
The incident happened near the surf off Queen Street around 4:45 p.m. “We have like a bit of an odd problem,” the lifeguard reported over the radio. “There are girls on our beach without tops,” he continued. “Well there apparently they are transgender and they have female breasts and a [incomplete sentence]. We tried to tell them to put shirts on and they told us they are transgender so that it’s illegal to discriminate and I just had a problem with it and that’s where we’re at right now,” he added...One police source says at least two of the men have partially completed the transgender process. He said it appeared they had breast implants but still had the male sex organ. [He had to really look hard for that.] A beach patrol official backed by four police officers convinced them to cover their breasts.
