"this" may well be a sickness. But, seriously I've now looked at seven other news outlets from the NY Daily News to MSNBC and AZCentral.com and again, one other Trans comment.

There is likely some transphobia around this but I don't think that's the overriding theme of the phobia, at least what I'm seeing.

favorite comment: "too fucking ugly to give someone oral" clearly this person is a big fan of Ron Jeremy.


Edited to add; "This" does not equal trans or queerness... but the actions of this individual.
