The AP's Sexual Confusion

Another great post from The Dawn Patrol. Excerpt:

[In "Transsexual Youth Haven Provides Support", the Associated Press reports on a] Chicago center for youths who want to change their gender. As it bends over backwards to be tolerant, the news organization doesn't even bother to get a quote from someone who might think it's not a good idea to mix sexually confused teenagers with 25-year-old cocaine-addicted prostitutes. But more than that, it quotes the youths by the names and genders that they've applied to themselves–even though it appears that none of them have actually gotten sex-change operations or had their names legally changed.
