[Question Liberal Authority]

If you’re out to prove how tolerant you are, why not just recognize that making fun of the trans-gendered is an alternative lifestyle?

[aquila48]

“The move garnered media attention for the school, largely positive.”

I wonder who they polled!

I'm going to stand in my garage and call myself a 1953 Studebaker. If you say I'm not a 1953 Studebaker you are intolerant!

[bpjam]

obviously, these people just believe that they are desperately in need of media attention to be taking Red Eye seriously.

bill Schultz, the human aborted embryo that he is, is hardly a credible source to listen to when determining what a birth defect is. Well, actually. Maybe he is an authority. I better go check the www.activitypit.com.

Transphobic

At the age of 44, I just plain give up.

[razorback-bert]

This reminds me of some bad SciFi in the 1970’s.

[JLS]

Great, very clever.

Calling Dr.Vandal,Dr.Visigoth,Dr.Mongol, you have a patient waiting in Berkely, California.

That's probably why "My Mother The Car" was canceled. It was insensitive to auto-American cyborgs. Or whatever they want to be called these days.

Life must be pretty good if you're a trans-gendered male who's really a female who claims to be the first pregnant man, and the worst thing that happened to you is that someone made a wisecrack at your expense at 3 AM on a cable tv channel.

Transphobic?

Is that someone who has a fear of manual transmissions?

[KarinG1]

I’m cockroachphobic and houseflyphobic, but fortunately they have a spray for that.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Don’t give up. That’s exactly what these thought Stalinists want.

"Andi Wheeler, Emerson's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Commissioner for the SGA, who viewed the segment, said she feels Schulz's words should be taken as a warning for how Emerson students should conduct themselves in their professional lives."

In other words, defer to hideous abominations by way of dishonest pretenses, or be cheated by dishonest/cowardly/socio-path employers. No.

Employers, do your part to stop methamphetamine abuse. Hire healthy, outspoken heterosexuals.

“bill Schultz, the human aborted embryo that he is, is hardly a credible source to listen to when determining what a birth defect is. Well, actually. Maybe he is an authority. I better go check the www.activitypit.com.”

Actually, Bill Schultz is himself a homosexual. A gay guy calls out a transgender male/female, whatever. That’s funny.

[endthematrix]

"But even the most liberal students I have heard use terms that if they had known better..."

The comment takes liberal snobbery to a higher level!

[balch3]

this whole thing about a pregnant ‘man’ is stupid. That said, Red Eye is at best lame, and often in bad taste.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Beatie's...testosterone levels would inevitably cause extreme birth defects.

That's something I hadn't considered.

[JennysCool]

Andi Wheeler, Emerson's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Commissioner for the SGA

Actual title: Tax Sucker

Transphobic?

I believe it is the fear of high-voltage transmission lines.
