On Saturday night, Saturday Night Live (SNL) aired the most horrifying and dehumanizing mocking of women who are born with a transsexual medical condition. The segment, called 'Estro-Maxx', ridiculed the medical transition that women with a transsexual/and or intersex birth challenge go through. NBC/Comcast has yet to reply to the human rights advocates who are outraged that they would allow the writers of SNL to create and air this hateful propaganda towards such an alienated minority group.

Some people have no respect for human decency... It's sad that we have come to the point when such utter disregard for human life is allowed to air on television... I'm not sure if I can watch that show for awhile...

If you haven't already seen it, there is a SNL skit that openly discriminates against transgender people...The comments made in the skit are rude and degrading, as well as lacking in any respect for us.
It has really just upset me greatly... Alot of people at my school watch SNL, and will have seen that skit. I had been planning on comming out tonight, but now that I know all my friends and peers have just watched a discriminatory video that bashes transgender, I am afraid to even mention it... It cast such a bad light on transgender americans and only encouraged the kind of abuse we have to endure.
I really can't understand why people have to be so cruel... It has only lessened my faith in other people... I'm not at all happy right now... I just don't get it...
Stuff like that doesn't just hurt adults, it hurts children and teenagers too!! My emotions are already f***ed up without something like this. But now, millions of people are laughing at something that is mortifying to me!! And there isn't anything I can do to make it better...
:'( I feel like crying...
