Update from Autumn: The actual text of Greg Gutfield's commentary can be read at the Big Hollywood blog here.

Of course it doesn't rank as "news" that Faux News is a hotbed of homo- and trans-hate. But this is horrible rant by Greg Gutfield mocking trans folk repeatedly in discussing an anti-terrorist policy that focuses on searching male suspects who dress in women's clothing to conceal a weapon. He actually starts talking about "half-man, half-unicorn," and how he will still wear his "floral caftan in first class."

In the Canadian airport security check they somehow saw me as ''male'' and the male officer tried to search me. I was post-op and my passport told female. I was pre-op in the Europe when I travelled to SRS and I went two times past the check as female without any problems. Same few times after. They were obviously looking ''->-bleeped-<-s'' as security risk in Canada.
