As one can see, Mike Hein not only uses ->-bleeped-<- as a slur, he sedulously points out Boylan's former male name. And even though Boylan has had sex reassignment surgery, Hein makes a point of frequently and only using male pronouns to refer to Boylan.
And further, Hein lists Jennifer Boylan's AOL email address in a part of the article I didn't excerpt for this piece — which if Hein thought about for just a moment he'd realize that some readers of The Record will likely send Boylan harassing emails because he provided them her e-address.
It's pretty clear reading the piece: Hein's (and the CCLM's) language is intentionally demeaning to Boylan and other transgender people.
This is the comment I sent to their website.
A prayer for you.
I recently read excerpts from Mike Hein's diatribe on Jenny Boylan. As a Christian and transgender person, I pray that someday you will search your hearts to eliminate the hatred you have for anyone different and that you will truly find the Love of God, the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Oh, I'm sure this was his intention.
