I just couldn't believe the direction they took it. I was yelling at my screen almost the entire time. Sad as this is to say, it actually made me hate the Avery kid for being different, or 'other', in a society where clearly many people would in the very least be confused by his appearance, yet he continues to ask "Why? Why did he do it?" the whole time--as if he didn't know! Most of us do not care so much about being PC that we will use the correct pronoun, or keep up with the current terms for people with various gender issues. It's not our problem. It is not society's problem, and I found it annoying that the judge chose to refer to this as a "protected class" issue. I get that I'm white and privileged, and shouldn't be offended for a group I am not a part of, regardless of the group, but it seemed crazy to me that they chose to pit a black kid (again, I and most people do not care about being PC) against a white 'trans' kid to make a point about hate crimes, considering far more black people are affected by hate crimes than 'trans' people. What a ridiculous episode, and one that probably caused more negative feelings than compassionate ones. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
