Let's just admit it right up front: This story is absurd:

NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 28 (UPI) -- A 70-year-old substitute teacher who was once a man and is now a woman has won her right to keep her job in rural New Jersey.

Six years ago, 65-year-old William McBeth began teaching at Eagleswood Township schools for five years, and then underwent the sex change procedure to become Lily McBeth.

She reapplied for her old job back, and the school board voted 4-1 in favor.

But there was an outcry from some parents in the town of 1,600 people.

At a public meeting Monday night in the school auditorium, McBeth answered questions and said she would never talk to children about sexuality at school, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.

"Children are wide open to change. It's the fear in the parents, not in the children," she said. "Am I a threat? Hardly."

After the meeting, school board attorney Paul Carr told reporters the board was unmoved by the opposition

The fact that the Eagleswood Township school board would sanction this absurdity by voting 4-1 in favor of allowing this teacher back in front of the same elementary school kids "it" taught as a man is way beyond the pale and it’s just one of the most recent in a huge laundry list of examples of the Sodomy Lobby attempting to foist its agenda on the public. The thing that makes this example of the attempts to mainstream sexual deviance particularly offensive is that they are, in effect, sexually assaulting an entire elementary school.

As far as I'm concerned it's time for a reality check on the whole idea that someone can be "trans-gendered", but using this case as a jumping off point, how about a little reality check in the case of the neuter McBeth: This guy isn't any more capable of being a woman than he is a cow, a pig, a chicken, a dog, or a cat. We neuter other male animals as well, but there is typically an actual rational purpose for this. There is no rational purpose to neutering a sexual deviant and mutilating (excuse me for not using the PC term "reconstructing") his sex organs. Furthering his quest to delve deeper into his sexual deviance doesn't count.

Let's be honest: What this whole story is about is a mentally ill old man who had his male parts cut off and is taking hormones to stop his body hair from growing. Not to make light of any type of mental illness, but wanting to have your parts cut off by its very nature means you need to have your head examined. (Notwithstanding the shrink time required before undergoing the procedure.) Secondly, if he doesn't have sense enough to understand that a man's urge to "be a woman" is a mental illness, he sure as hell doesn't have enough common sense and rational thought processes to be a good teacher.

The fact that the neuter McBeth claims he, she, it (insert applicable gender term here) would never talk about sexuality with kids is enough to tell you we're dealing with someone who isn't playing with a full deck. Does he actually think he has to TALK about sexuality? The fact that the school board is going to allow this freak show to play out in an elementary school classroom, in front of a school full of kids who used to call this whatever Mr. McBeth, by its very nature, invites "talk about sexuality". We know what needs to be said to these students should they have the misfortune of having to deal with the new Lady McBeth in the classroom: This behavior is deviant, abnormal and there is something seriously wrong with a person who wants a "sex change" that can't be solved by cutting off their parts and pumping them full of hormones. Of course, this is the last thing in the world the school board, in its quest for "tolerance" and "diversity" is going to let anyone tell the munchkins. So the standard line in the classroom will undoubtedly be that everyone has to embrace Lady McBeth's sexual deviance as normal.

A better solution would be for Mr./Ms. McBeth to go to a completely different school district where the kids will just think of him as a really strange-looking woman and not the mentally-disordered man he really is. An even better solution would be for him to just go quietly into retirement as the big, ugly confused "trans-gendered" mess that he is and save all kids the trouble of having to deal with his gender confusion, something no elementary school kid should have to be forced to confront in the classroom in the first place. Obviously, neither of the above solutions will work for the neuter McBeth however, because they don't serve the purpose of making the political statement he she or it is quite obviously trying to make. It (he or she) has gotten plenty of press and the gay blogosphere has to love what it's done for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Trans-Gendered cause. With the neuter McBeth case and all the nationwide publicity it has garnered comes a great opportunity to label all of us people who see this for the complete and utter absurdity that it is raging "homophobes".

I keep calling this guy a mentally-disordered old man and that's exactly what he is. In fact, if you look at the sites that describe the procedure and read the comments of the "experts" on the subject, they freely admit that wanting to change sexes is a mental disorder -- gender identity disorder to be exact. So forget the notion that people are "born this way": What we have is subset of gender-confused nutcases in the larger demographic of all sexual deviants who have some twisted desire to be the opposite sex and an entire industry, social structure and political movement built around institutionalizing this form of mental illness and forcing the general public to accept it as the norm. Now, they want this forced acceptance to included forcing elementary school kids to confront this deviance their classroom.

Can you think of any other type of mental illness that we attempt to mainstream as the norm, branding anyone who rightly points out the absurdity with some idiotic pejorative term such as "homophobe"? Schizophrenia? No -- we either institutionalize these folks or try to get them some kind of therapy. Manic depression? No: We try to get these folks counseling and therapy to overcome their depression. Other sex disorders? No. We attempt to "cure" the person through treatment and counseling. In fact, pick any one of a huge list of mental disorders and the prescription will always be the same: Counseling and therapy to try to make the disorder go away or minimize it. Only in the case of the mental disorder known as "gender identity disorder", do we carve up the person's genitalia, shoot them full of opposite-sex hormones, then parade the oddity around in front of the world or worse in this case, in front a group of elementary school kids, and tell them we have to accept this person's mental disorder as a normal part of society.

A world famous talk show host likes to "illustrate absurdity by being absurd". Back in the late 80s when he began his "excursion into broadcast excellence" teaching students as a male teacher, leaving to have your male parts cut off and coming back to teach these same kids as a "female" would have fallen into this category. The reaction of most people would have been "this is a joke, right?".

It isn't any different in 2006. As illustrated by the outcry from concerned parents in the Eaglewood Township School District and the nationwide publicity surrounding this unfolding freak show, this situation is every bit as absurd today as it would have been 20 years ago. The big difference is in the Sodomy Lobby and the leftists largely successful efforts to mainstream absurdity. Rabid, foaming at the mouth, virulent cries of "homophobe" and "bigot" rise at the mere whimper of opposition to the absurdity of mainstreaming people who suffer from the mental illness they call "gender identity disorder".

So with the genuflection to the Sodomy Lobby by a New Jersey school board, all the students at one of their elementary schools may well be forced to deal with the end result of one old man’s gender confusion. Thanks to the Eaglewood Township School Board for seeing to it that this absurdity grows and begins to inculcate itself further into our culture. If more of us don't start standing up and calling this what it is; an utter absurdity and a sexual assault on elementary school kids in the classroom -- a place where sex should be the last thing on their minds -- whose classroom will be the next one to be invaded by some gender-confused adult whose sole focus in their selfish life is on their gender confusion?

So far, the neuter McBeth has not yet been allowed to foist his gender confusion upon the students at Eaglewood Elementary School. Let's hope a sudden wave of common sense sweeps over the Eaglewood Township School Board and they decide to stop "Lily" McBeth's sexual assault on Eaglewood Elementary School.
