I agree that transphobia should be reported.  But the story itself shouldn't be framed in such a way where it seems to promote transphobia nor should the reporter continue to spread hateful rhetoric on his twitter feed.  There is a difference between reporting and spreading hateful propaganda.

Megyn Kelly is rare among Fox News personalities in that I have a tiny bit of respect for her for calling out "Dr." Keith Ablow for his blatantly transphobic Chaz Bono comments.

I'm surprised her occassional lapses into showing empathy for other human beings hasn't gotten her fired yet.
