Does Fox News have an agenda to mock transgender people Several LGBT groups think it does and have documented a series of instances, the latest an image of Robin Williams dressed as movie character Mrs. Doubtfire in an online report detailing California’s and Oregon’s new healthcare regulations for transgender people.
A successful petition from Basic Rights Oregon, the nonprofit LGBT equality group, resulted in Fox News’ removing from its website the image of Mrs. Doubtfire.
“Trivializing transgender people‘s need for medically necessary healthcare ignores the position of the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, and countless other authorities on healthcare. We demand an apology and that Fox News end its transphobic content,” states the petition. LGBT and civil-rights groups that promoted the petition included ForceChange.com, GLAADandMedia Matters.
