Forbes, the enormous business magazine, published a blog post by James Altucher last week, entitled "Why Google Never Bought My Company."

In it, he uses the following phrase: "chasing down abused ->-bleeped-<- prostitutes who wanted to share their 'chocolate action'."

I imagine that phrase must have seemed pretty cool, edgy and funny to Mr. Altucher and his editors at Forbes. I have a different take on it. It makes me feel like the marginalization of trans people, particularly trans people of color, is kind of cool, edgy and funny to Mr. Altucher, who runs a stockpicking website, and his editors, who run a blog at a multi-million dollar corporation.
