Blake Lively Tells 'Elle' If She Has Sons 'They Better Be Trannies’

I've posted blogs containing news items that I think would be of interest to this community, on several occassions, but have not actually commented on the news item. I have to comment tonight.

I do not know anything about this actress, in fact never heard of her before seeing the article, but the woman has to be deranged, and would be a dangerous parent.

Many of the folks at this site, including many I consider to be friends, talk about the traumas and difficulties they have suffered because they were transgendered to some degree or another. While many have accepted their, for lack of a better word, condition, I do not think there are many who would have asked for this to happen or would have been happy to have their mothers change them.

While there are stories here about parents or others changing their sons into daughters, it is fiction, and in many cases comments made here are quite negative.

Somehow this woman should be prevented from having kids.

If I have offended anyone by this blog, I appologize for any hurt I have caused you.

I think it's time

To start not taking everything celebrities say as gospel truth.

Sort of clueless

She's kind of clueless about the insult potential of the word but I really think she meant the comment as a humorous note on how much of a girly girl she is. People say hyperbolic things all the time and Hollywood types are famous for it. While she might not be good mother potential for other reasons, and like you, I really don't know her, I wouldn't hold this one silly comment against her.

Hugs,

I suspect that it's a symptom...

...of a general societal acceptance of gender and sexuality variations as part of the new "normal," so that sensible people feel free to make silly jokes about things that were once so taboo that one couldn't even breathe the word, like Oscar Wilde's Love that dare not speak its name.

Think of how carefully Rock Hudson and Raymond Burr concealed their homosexuality, inventing faux girlfriends and hinting at romantic interests that didn't exist whilst carefully hiding their real lives from the world.

Then think of Anne Heche, and how little ripple there was about her dalliance with Ellen Degeneres*, and how quickly she disappeared when she returned to profoundly silly heterosexuality. Hell, being queer was the best thing that ever happened to her, even if only Queer for a Day. Has it been so long since Ellen "came out?" Can anyone remember how little kerfluffle there was, and how silly the few mad wet hens looked squawking about with their feathers all ruffled? Cluck, cluck, cluck.

We live in a different age, when children can say, "You're so gay," and mean whatever they want to mean by it, whether good or bad. It could even be the name of a show on the telly.

Who would have thought, just twenty years ago, even ten, that a show called "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" could ever be on the television? Well, okay, so it's on cable, but not on the weird cable that one pays extra for, just normal base subscription cable that everyone receives with the "package," (not that I mean anything *odd* by that).

Queer, isn't it?

* Except amongst the profoundly stupid and hateful, but like the poor, they are always with us. Polite people ignore them as much as possible, even if they do have a party these days.

Clean my screen?

Can you come clean the coffee off my screen? "Queer for a Day" indeed.

Can we get that on the ABC daytime schedule next year? LOL

Coming next Fall:

A new reality show that will forever change the way we perceive sexuality and gender: Queer For A Day!

A different participant will be selected every episode from those who volunteer to live the life of a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered individual for one day and have our television crews recording everything they do and the reactions of those they interact with.

To protect their identities they will be given spending money and be put up in different hotels across the country in an area other than where they're from.

Get ready for your eyes to be opened!

Oh well...

It takes all types.
The video after the article is very interesting.Diego Sanchez handles it really well and sensitively.

Golly, Rami...

Maybe I took the cowards way out.

And, maybe what I did was self serving, but once I realized that people were more OK with being Inter-sexed than being Trans, I took the Inter-sexed route, and fortunately later I would find it was true. Call me a coward, but its what I did. Still, I think things are greatly improving and in a generation, perhaps two, red necks will have to be very quiet.

She Was In "The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants"

Blake Lively was in "The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants" and played Ben Affleck's girlfriend in "The Town" She is also on the CW series "Gossip Girl" I don't think she meant anything offensive. I think it was probably a reference to her Girly, Girl roots. She said she hoped to have lots ogirls, but if she had boys, they better be trannies, because she had lots of shoes and bags that needed to be appreciated. I know a lot of us would appreciate the opportunity to get good use out of shoes and bags. I have 12 pair right now and probably 8 purses in my closet and I would love to buy more! LOL! I don't find it offensive, because I understood what she was saying.

Does anyone over the mental age of seven

actually take any notice of celebrities? People whose only claim to fame is being famous don't do much for me. Most of the really worthwhile people in this world tend to be modest about their achievements and quiet about their opinions.

Well said

For celebities, publicity seems to be the thing. If it's controversial, then it prolongs the conversation and sells media, which is a self-perpetuating game to fleece the more gullible members of the public of their hard-earned pennies.

Me, I'm happy to live in reasonable obscurity somewhere in the North-West of England.

Famous I do NOT want to be.
