Oh that NG Cover ------
Did not find the subject all that interesting so I skipped it ---
Could be because I got use to viewing the Kardashingins always popping-up on my Yahoo home page
SOOOOO I was not at all offended by the NG subject or the photo

The subject on the cover is pure bullshit. You are what you were born to be. NG has no business going into these topics. That's for birdcage liners like the National Enquirer.

Side note, I heard today NG fired all of their photo journalists and will rely on independent freelance photographs. Times are changing...

I guess it makes sense from a business perspective. Less overhead.

While it may not be your cup of tea, NG has ALWAYS delved into different cultures and sub-cultures. Transgender situations are just one of those sub-cultures. I did not read that article either, but I will not cancel my subscription as a result of that, any more than I would cancel it if NG looked into and offered insight on any other "different" groups. I take a very, "live and let live" attitude toward such things. I do not have to agree with you or anyone else whose culture and beliefs clash with my own; but I can respect their side of things, none-the-less.
