This, I’m sure you will agree, is the ultimate in classy behavior:
A political action committee that supports Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern sent an e-mail to members this week calling Kern’s transgender opponent, Democrat Brittany Novotny, “a confused it.” The e-mail from the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, posted on Novotny’s website on Thursday, goes on to say that “Some have suggested that having a sex change operation is a person’s greatest act of rebellion and hatred toward God for His making them what they were.”
“It is truly sad to see people reject God’s love for them by being willing to mutilate themselves,” the OCPAC e-mail states. “If they would submit their life to God, they could find the true the joy in life that will forever elude them while on their path of rebellion. The hatred and rage toward Sally continues unabated in the homosexual community because Sally dared to declare their political agenda for what it truly is, more dangerous to the future of America than the threat of terrorism.”
Even if people don’t understand transgender people, it’s always a bit amazing to me how some will react to people they don’t understand, what kind of simple, visceral hatred they’ll throw around, based on their own flaccid pig ignorance.
Here’s the full e-mail so you can see the context:

Committee (OCPAC). …SALLY KERN’S OPPONENT IN HOLLYWOOD FOR A FUNDRAISER
A week ago Saturday, State Representative Sally Kern’s opponent Brittany Novotny attended a fundraiser on her behalf in the home of Hollywood actor and voice over artist Ben Patrick Johnson. In a group picture I saw, presumably at Johnson’s home in West Hollywood, Brittany was actually smiling right in the middle of what I guess was about 50 likeminded people.
Brittany used to be a “he”, had a sex change operation to make him into a “her” but turned out to become a confused “it.” Some have suggested that having a sex change operation is a person’s greatest act of rebellion and hatred toward God for His making them what they were.
It is truly sad to see people reject God’s love for them by being willing to mutilate themselves. If they would submit their life to God, they could find the true the joy in life that will forever elude them while on their path of rebellion. The hatred and rage toward Sally continues unabated in the homosexual community because Sally dared to declare their political agenda for what it truly is, more dangerous to the future of America than the threat of terrorism.
Brittany has suggested Sally doesn’t represent the values of her constituents. Sally, on the other hand, from the time she first ran for office, told her constituents that she was a Christian and would stand for traditional morality and family values. Aside from the moral issues, Sally is one of the most conservative and well informed lawmakers in the state on a broad range of issues. In November, we will see which set of values the voters in HD 84 care most about. Remember, all elections are first about the quality and character of the voters.
I look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday.

I’ve been watching this race from California for a bit. Gotta hand it to Brittany; she’s gotta have more (metaphorical) balls than most in her district. Going up against an incumbent that has repeatedly spouted such homophobic and transphobic views as Sally Kern has, it takes a special kind of mettle to go head to head with that as a transgender candidate.
To which, as a proud and out tgirl myself, I say, “Go girlfriend, and kick some a*s!”
“I wonder if “willing mutilation” also includes plastic surgery. I believe thats changing from what they were
“Some have suggested that having a sex change operation is a person’s greatest act of rebellion and hatred toward God for His making them what they were.”
So, to be consistent, wouldn’t they also have to say, “Some have suggested that becoming ex-gay is a person’s greatest act of rebellion and hatred toward God for His making them what they were?”
I already said that. Sniff.
You can precede ANY claim, no matter how offensive or ridiculous, with the phrase “some have suggested”. It doesn’t make that claim credible.
“Some have suggested that Sally Kern is so deranged that in her spare time she fashions Barbie dolls out of her own poop, then lines them up in a row on her vanity table, serenading them with a medley of Captain & Tennille songs.”
So Sally, is the surgical correction of birth defects a ‘rebellion and hatred towards God for making them that way’? How about tatoos? Oh, and what does Kern think of the ultimate religious mutilation of circumcision? What a f—-n moron!
Gary, there actually ARE people who oppose surgery to correct birth defects on religeous grounds for just that reason.
Clearly, some people are moronic fuckwits.
