I recently posted the piece Alleged Antitransgender Discrimination From San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. In it we had a blender indicate the LGBT community doesn't exist, referred to trans women as "chicks with dicks," and referred to Officer Witten as "not she," but "a man" (here, here, and here), referring to Officer Witten two of those times as a "drag queen" in a way meant to deny Officer Witten has a female gender identity.
