You had to go back 20 years to find an example. Kudos.

Thanks for proving my point.

Cosby Show? Going back 30 years.

Any modern shows on today? Bueller? Bueller?

Nope.

Pretty sure reality TV has taken over in the last 20 years.

And this is one of the many reasons I do not have cable TV.

Don't like it? Don't watch. I'll never understand people complaining about what comes on TV.

If you don't like Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon, trans superheroes, NFL football, Country Music Awards, The Oscars, Duck Dynasty....don't watch them.

People on both sides of the political spectrum whining about television shows is one of the most snowflakey things you can do, IMO. If you don't like a program, don't watch it. Problem solved.

Heavens to Betsy you open your mind and consider that everybody doesn't think the same way as you and other people might like watching a program that you don't like. What a shocker!

If you don’t like it don’t watch.
Yaaaa a super hero in a wheel chair. How cool. Set your DVR now.

Life is infinitely complex, but they keep their eyes, and minds tightly shut and regurgitate inane statements like we mutilate ourselves. I've long given up trying to reach them, it can't be done. It ultimately does not matter what they think about me and those like me, because frankly, I don't give a damn what they think.
I don't feel that I am supporting. I feel that I am pointing out what is obvious.
Many who hate blacks have never personally spoken to a black. Many may have, but started with the idea that blacks are bad. The same is true of the ignorance shown towards transgenders.

I used to be one of those hardcore homophobes. Yep I even used to beat gay people up on occasion just because I could.
Then I met a man who was gay but didn't act like the stereotypical gay man. I didn't know he was gay for a few years. By then we had become damn good friends. We are still damned good friends.

I met and talked to my first transgender about 10 years ago. It started out as a very uncomfortable day. I felt grossed out. I felt that the world was staring at me. I wanted to kill the guy that brought a tranny to our lunch meeting. By the end she and I found common ground and are still friends today. She is one of my best friends. Through her I have met other transgenders.
The common theme is that they all knew since their earliest memories that they didn't feel male. Didn't like the typical things other boys liked.
Some had parents who tried to beat the gay out of them. Some the parents just threw them out. Some started hormones very young. Older friends and or sisters supplied them. Those people look like beautiful women, sound like women, move like women.
Transgendered people are human. Some are cool and some? Well *******s are everywhere. They are just people.

I let biology do the talking. I won’t feed their mental illness.

So, you do follow the scientific studies that suggest that stuff like transgenderism and homosexuality have a basis in biology? Good.

I grew up on a dairy farm. Do you know what you see everyday? Bulls jumping bulls. Cows jumping cows. Some cows bull all the time.
At the very least animals have bi-sexual tendencies.
Ever watch male dogs? Yeah they hump everything that moves.

Biology is a fickle thing I guess.
That said I judge people on an individual basis. I have met so called straight men that lust after a cute 12 yearold girl. Biology is strange.

Dog humping is a show of dominance not sexuality. Maybe learn a little about animal behavior?
