Presidential candidate Roseanne Barr isn't known for holding her peace. But the actress-activist has upset members of the transgender community with some comments she posted on Twitter.

When one of her Twitter followers mentioned that Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein "is also in favour of letting men into spaces where little girls get changed."—a reference to Stein's support for trans rights—Barr tweeted back, "if she has a penis she is not allowed in."

When a Twitter user accused Barr of transphobia, she tweeted back, "Women do not want your penises forced in their faces or in our private bathrooms. Respect that FACT."

You keep saying that, but you have yet to make that "point" clear.
