(1-star review for the show Transparent)
I tried watching this show but it just seems like another push by the media industry to force me to be ok with something I personally am not ok with. First they pushed for homosexuality to be the norm now it is transexuality. What will be the next step once everyone sympathizes and every gender is having sex with every gender not knowing which gender is which. I imagine thanks to hollywood my kids kids will be watching shows about beastiality and after they win that battle i am sure the next push will be for pedophiles to be the norm. What happened to the normal being the norm.

Only, nobody's pushing you to watch the show. In fact, this is the first I've heard of it, so I assume you google 'transsexuals' on a regular basis and just get angry about whatever you find because you have no other way to pass your time until your miserable life runs out.

Well, I'm not ok with your not being ok with it, so there.

Am I the only one who finds that kind of funny, posting that here?
Nothing wrong with "normal being the norm" - that's why they call it "the norm". There is also nothing wrong with those who do not fit that rather simplistic concept. I'd be willing to bet that you do not match the norm in some characteristic or other (I suspect intelligence), but somehow the only parameters the fundies worry about have something to do with sex.
I've never seen Transparent... but isn't it one of those shows that was released for streaming online by Amazon? You had to go to your computer and specifically decide to watch it.
How is that the media forcing something on you? It's not as if you flicked on the television and Transparent happened to be playing (and even then you could just switch it off if you didn't like it). In order to watch this show you had to consciously choose to watch the show and seek it out. That's not force. That is not the media pushing anything onto you.

Normal leads to man-on-dog butt rape.

I still have to check that show out, because I absolutely adore Jeffrey Tambor.
And like TheGoose said, you cannot call it the media forcing you to do anything if you have to actively go to the Amazon website, look for the show and click on the link to start it.
Oh, yeah, and: "Informed consent".
"What happened to the normal being the norm."
Humanity realized that not only is "normalcy" an inherently flawed concept with regards to sentient lifeforms, but being insane is a whole lot more fun?
"What happened to the normal being the norm."
...which is what Aunty Beeb will be saying between mouthfuls of eternal Humble Pie when "Next Gear" on Amazon will have destroyed the non -Jezza/Hamster/Captain Slow Chris Evans-hosted "Top Gear"; Stig or not.
Your error will be Transparent indeed.
I feel SO jealous over the BOYS who get to be GIRLS, because I am not a girl, nor am I trans, nor am I in denial, However, it is sinful to have feelings of wanting to be a girl, so I will stay a BOY, as the Bible says.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
