You know what the sad thing about this is? It's so predictable that the writers at Saturday Night Live probably never gave it a second thought whether this might be offensive. The level of insensitivity is astounding; Transmockery is apparently still A-OK as entertainment.

GLAAD's press release is out:

    This Saturday, on an airing of Saturday Night Live, NBC (a subsidiary of Comcast) broadcast a dangerous and blatantly transphobic segment which they called 'Estro-Maxxx' - the punchline of which was the lives of countless transgender people across the country.
