Ignorance abounds about transgender people and their lives, and it's a never ending struggle to get the correct information out there about our lives.
That struggle is only complicated by media people who spew disinformation and transphobic hatred on the public airwaves.
GLAAD contacted me about a problematic May 28 broadcast of the Rob, Arnie & Dawn in the Morning radio show. It's heard in Sacramento, California on KRXQ 98.5 FM and Reno, Nevada on KDOT 104.5 FM, and featured this transphobic tirade against transgender children by hosts Rob Williams and Arnie States.
