ABC Do Not Air the Sitcom "Work It"

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ABC-NO-WORK-IT/

'Work It' makes a mockery of transgender peoples struggles in the work place and empowers those with dormant transphobia to act on those urges with violence. It reinforces the biased stereotypical misogynistic social constructs that transsexuals are not "real" people and therefore of no worth.

Currently the president of ABC Paul Lee takes no responsibilities for the damaging effects of "Work It" even as he acknowledges the reasons for the public outcry against it. In fact he  http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a333908/abc-president-paul-lee-i-make-no-excuses-for-work-it.html laughs at our suffering  even though as an intelligent man he undoubtly understands how "Work It" would contribute to transgender discrimination and murders.

Please ad your name to those who ask "Work It" not be aired.
