“Transmisogynist” … yes, dears, some believe this is a thing [Darleen Click]
Parody is as dead as the fabled Norwegian Blue … Question: It’s concerning to me that you’re telling lesbians they are bigoted/transphobic/vile for being exclusively attracted to females (referring to the female sex, to clarify), and accusing lesbians of contributing to the deaths of trans women by not having sex with them.

Considering past performance (e.g. Joe the Plumber), the incurious behavior of our News Shapers is suspicious. Dollars to donuts, the guy
