Sun Times disses Mianne Bagger

We usually like the Chicago Sun Times for its extensive and balanced coverage of queer issues, but a sports roundup this week contains any number of insulting references to transgender pro golfer Mianne Bagger. The headline refers to her as an "ex-man." Then the writer opines that she nearly qualifies as half of a mixed foursome. Sports Illustrated's mention of Bagger is called a sign of the apocalypse. Then there's the joke about "The Legend of Bagger's Pants." Boo.
