Blogger Comments On Media Hysteria
All Over The Place. The Media Ranger planned to comment on variety of personal websites maintained of, by, and for transsexuals. There are some interesting sites out there and we will comment in due time on some of them.
For now, though, let's consider the personal biographies. The news isn't too good, but it is the same news, website in and website out.
the frenzy surrounding John Mark Karr's connection to the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case
Pauline Park beat us to it with an interesting blog entry that we recommend for your reading. So, in the spirit of giving credit where credit is due (and avoiding our workload), here is the lead and off site links.
Jon Benet Ramsey! Sex-Change Operations! Transsexual Pedophile Murderers! Screaming Tabloid Headlines!
Leave it to the New York tabloids to turn the already lurid Jon Benet Ramsey murder case into a story about a freaky transsexual wannabe pedophile killer.
I had a queasy feeling when I first heard reports about John Mark Karr and his reported interest in seeking sex reassignment surgery (SRS) in Thailand. Somehow, I knew it would not help the cause.
On August 20, the Associated Press reported that Karr, now the object of international attention, had visited the Pratunam Polyclinic in Bangkok to consult with Dr. Thep Vechavisit about surgery, but the Denver Post quoted Vechavisit on August 21 as denying that.
There have also been reports that Karr had had electrolysis in Bangkok to remove facial hair, a procedure that many transsexuals have prior to SRS.
Read the entire blog entry at Big Queer Blog or visit with Pauline Park at her website.
