GLAAD Says SNL's Estro-Maxx Skit is Transphobic and Even Less Funny Than SNL Usually Is These Days

If you are one of those people who a) has a TV and b) watches Saturday Night Live even though Tina Fey isn't on it anymore, you may have seen an SNL sketch this week advertising a false product called "Estro-Maxx." You may also have flipped a ->-bleeped-<- over how transphobic it was, and consequently either changed the channel or kept watching even though you were disgusted because wasn't this the one with Nicki Minaj?

As is its custom, GLAAD has issued a demand for an apology, and started an online petition for Saturday Night Live to respond.
