When reporting a story obviously a journo has to find an angle to make it enticing to read. But this is just stoopid.
Stefanie Imbruglia is a transexual attempting to be identified by the government by her new sex.
Fair enough.
The angle the story took?
Natalie Imbruglia's sex change cousin in passport row
I mean, come on. What does being her cousin have to do with anything?
I reckon it has to do with the fact that the story will get a million times more clicks and a million times more sympathy just by virtue of having her name in the headline!
ReplyDeleteA commenter on our blog brought up that issue about a month or so ago- obviously that was before Natalie Imbruglia's cousin made her problem public, so it never made the mainstream media at the time...
Yup. It is all in the name. Power to her I say however she is wrong in asserting that a vagina makes the women. A women in more than a vagina.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
