While there are lots of things we transpeople can do quite well, Simon, find some other way to slam the singing abilities of cis women contestants besides calling them '->-bleeped-<-s'.

This isn't the sort of TV I would watch to be honest.
But there seems to be a vogue lately for curelty and meanness in the media. There was a TV series of home videos featuring babies and animals, among others, hurting themselves to the sound of canned laughter. An advert for car insurance talks about loving your car with an image of some guy locking his wife and kids out to keep his car looking nice.
All pretty sick really. A reflection of the utterly degenerate levels the media will sink to to earn money.

They seem to be more focused on a father shouldn't need to hear his girl called a ->-bleeped-<- than Simon using the term to identify ->-bleeped-<-s as second class sub humans. Where is the outrage over that?

You wonder why I don't watch much t.v. with the junk shows they have and this sort of dark age thinking. I simple put Simon in the same level as a bigot whom believes he is the (almighty well he can shove it up his a*s. I also find it disgusting that a father would talk about his child like this. >:(
