We Want To Be Modern But ...

... maybe not this modern.

From Lawrence Auster's blog:

Last Friday evening, May 8, a trolley driver on Boston's Green Line drove through a red light in a "crowded and twisting subway corridor" and crashed into the rear of a stationary trolley, causing injuries to 50 passengers and $10 millions in damages, including the totaling of three trolley cars.
The following facts have emerged:

 The driver was text messaging his girlfriend when the accident occurred.

Not only that, but he had received three speeding tickets from driving his own car in recent years, yet he was hired as a trolley driver.

Not only that, but "he" is not a he. "He" is a transgendered person, formerly Georgia Quinn, now Aiden Quinn.

And not only that, but "he" was hired as a minority because of "his" transgendered status. Call me square, call me fastidious, call me a narrow-minded bigot who does not look with a welcoming and sympathetic eye on all things human, but I really don't want to know whether and in what sense a transgendered "man" can have a "girlfriend." 

So let's sum this up: a transgendered "male" trolley driver who had had three speeding tickets but was hired as a "minority" because of "his" sex-change operation was text messaging "his" "girlfriend" while driving "his" trolley and drove through a red light into another trolley injuring dozens of people.
