Zellers pulls "egg these transvestites" shirts from stores

Zellers has removed a T-shirt from its stores across Canada after receiving complaints that it is "obscene" and hateful towards trans people.

The children's shirt features two paragraphs of small text, which appear to tell a "story" about trouble-making young friends. An excerpt:

"Me and Terry would see the transvestites on Santa Monica and this one time... [we were] like 'Yo, let's get 'em. Let's drive-by egg these transvestites.'"
