Post: Why is Trump picking on a 6'5" grandma?

The Washington Post demands to know why the hateful GOP is bullying a woman athlete just because she used to be a man.

Not in the Washington Post today

Below is a Washington Post news section (i.e., non-opinion section) story that waves all sorts of red flags for any of us familiar with the unmentionable sex fetish of autogynephilia that is behind many of the most publicized stories of grown men declaring they are women. But the Washington Post hasn’t dared mention autogynephilia in this decade — acknowledging its existence tends to make extremely determined and ruthless individuals, ones it would be prudent not to offend, hot under the collar.

So, the Post’s subscribers tend to automatically imagine a child who was Assigned the Wrong Gender at Birth and grew up bullied for feminine traits seen as inappropriate in a boy, and is now being bullied by Bully-in-Chief Donald Trump.

This Narrative of the weak and innocent being picked on by Bad Men sets off maternal protective instincts in lots of women voters. Deprived of an alternative explanation of what is so often actually going on, few ever notice the details in the sympathetic news stories that just don’t fit.

But let’s read it with our eyes open to the existence of AGP:

How a grandma became the focus of a ‘misinformed’ Trump ad on trans athletes

Looks pretty grand-motherly (with all that shadow and backlighting) in this photo, one of two that the Washington Post used to illustrate its lengthy article. (By the way, the Post did not use the 2012 USA Today photo I placed above.)
