I am not sure if this is also in other cities - I am guessing so. After all the controversy around their transgender story lines this seems especially insensitive (to say the least).

When I posted this on my Facebook page I got a few "This is funny" responses and continue to be perplexed. To me, this kind of image and the "humor" on this show around transgender people is pretty offensive. I know humor is a subjective thing but like a lot of this kind of extreme humor there is the "We make fun of everyone" excuse. But the intent and context seem anti-trans and sexist and those are the deciding factors when I make a decision about any LGBT representation.

I fail to see how this is a trans dig.  Ever seen RHPS?
