fumingWHY SO ANGRYToday I rose spectacularly early, thought "yey! I can get to work before anyone else, put my music on loud and sort out that bug in my program before lunchtime". Felt really good. Picked up a morning paper to read on the train, scanned through the main paper and decided to leave the nasty bits till later. Turned to the supplement, and saw the headline "Mutilation won't make a man a woman" above an article slamming sex reassignment surgery for transexuals. And in my favourite morning paper!Wham, bang and good mood was replaced by seething angerLast night showed the third program in a series of four depicting the life of a male-to-female transsexual over the course of around twenty years, and was, I assume, the impetus for this tirade along with the recent judgement that the NHS should pay for surgery.Essentially Dea Birkett said that most transexuals are mtf, as evidenced by the numbers wanting surgery. She also claimed transexuality was due not to any physical reason, poo-poohing evidence suggesting hormonal influences in the womb have any effect, and declared that"Such theories deliver a below-the-belt blow to the sexual revolution"No, in Dea's book, transexuality is caused by the fact that it is still not possible in today's society for men to wear skirts. She went on to describe this surgery as "mutilation" and ended with the soundbite"It's our attitude towards acceptable behaviour for a man that needs a few nips and tucks, not a couple of hundred penises on the NHS."Why has this so upset me? To be honest I'm not sure. I have heard far worse said about transexuals in a more blatant manner. Perhaps it was because it was presented in such a "I'm a bit of a liberal, don't you know, and these transexuals are messing with my gender politics ideas" kind of way. Perhaps because the Guardian is my almost-daily paper and I expected better. Perhaps because I thought that if even the Guardian, normally a bastion of the left, ready to support equal rights for all at a moments notice, could print this, then what hope have got for understanding from the rest of society.Other ResponsesOthers, more eloquent than me, have written directly to the Guardian or expressed their own views on the article in writing.Stephen Van Doren from Dublin sent this letter, challenging and correcting many of the completely erroneous statements made by Dea Birkett.Many more can be found at the Press for Change site, under their news-archive. In particular, seeWill the Guardian Take the Challenge ? initial letter from Christine Burns, from PFCThe Missing Voice followup letter from Christine BurnsMutilation by Dea Birkett - Episode Two letter from Eleanor LynallFurther discussion can be found at the PFC Forum Archive for August 1999. Threads generally entitled "... Dea Birkett ..." or " ... Guardian ... ", from Thur 5th August onwards.Other (semi-) relevant informationRules for non-trans writing about trans advice for writers by Jacob Hale, hosted on Sandy Stone's site. A useful reference for journalits - though they may need a pointer towards its existance.
