Opinion: “Instagram” tourists should drop the act, stay on the trail and enjoy reality

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:43 GMT

A spectacular picture recently appeared on social media of a young lady in Arizona. She was poised on the edge of a cliff emblazoned with sunset colors. Immediately her online followers clamored to know where the picture was taken, so “I can get one just like it.”Turns out that it was taken on an off-trail route at the end of a potholed dirt road on the Navajo Nation, and required a permit to even enter the area. Also, I bet she did not climb to that precarious perch on that cliff wearing those fancy shoes.A local guide lamented that the area would now be getting a slew of “Instagram” tourists. These people would be seeking to replicate the pose with themselves perched on the very same edge, probably wearing those same shoes.This kind of thing has led to some decrying the unsavory habits of Instagram influencers. These are the folks who trample fields of wildflowers in order to get a shot of themselves displaying a sponsored product. Or who photograph their colorful paintings on wil...

Children’s Hospital Colorado has stopped performing chest reconstruction on transgender patients, though it will continue to offer non-surgical gender-affirming care.The hospital never performed surgery on patients under 18, and recently stopped offering it to young adults, spokeswoman Rachael Fowler said. Staff are assisting adult patients with referrals to other hospitals if they want to pursue surgery, she said.Patients can still receive other gender-affirming care in line with professional guidelines, which could include puberty-blocking medication or hormones, depending on the patient’s needs, Fowler said.A Denver woman whose son intended to receive “top surgery” – removal of the mammary glands and sculpting to create a masculine chest appearance – said her family was referred to the University of Colorado Hospital’s surgery center, which only operates on adults. While her son will turn 18 this fall, she’s concerned the delay could mean that ...
