I felt bad watching American Idol tues and wed.
Zack, a self Identified male, was sort of awkwardly introduced. It seemed to hit a little harder than normal. They spent the most of the night leading up to it showing little things before the commercial saying stuff like "later, find out ...boy or girl." Then would show him walking in high heels. He himself said he was a guy, used guys bathroom. He had a very ambigious voice, long hair, and dress and acted very much in between.
Also other the guy that Simon said to shave his face, wear a dress, and become a woman.
Here is someone else's report on it.

I saw the same episode. The contestants in question were mortified. What a bunch of idiots. I was looking for contact information for the show so I could fire off an email, but no luck yet. Reading some of the comments from others on that episode just goes to show how narrow minded they are.

If Simon had said that to me, "...wear a dress and become a woman" I'd've said: "So you think you got what it takes to make a woman out of me, sailor?"
