On the same day that thousands of people around the world gather to remember those who have been killed due to anti-transgender hatred, Fox News ran a segment criticizing one transgender prison inmate for requesting adequate medical care.

November 20 is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day meant to memorialize the victims of violence motivated by transphobia. It's only fitting, then, that the Fox & Friends crew would start the day with a news alert mocking Michelle Kosilek, a transgender prison inmate in Massachusetts who requested electrolysis treatment to complete her gender transition:

Fox is full of people who talk out of their asses. Shocking... 

Who would have thunk?

Its Faux News.  What else does one expect?  Unbiased reporting.  HAHAHAHA  Not from those morons.

Fox is part of the Rupert Murdoch group of news organizations

Anyway, I hate Fox News, and the typical mocking they do is unprofessional but they do have a point. Why should the citizens of Massachusetts pay for this person's electrolysis?

I bet they got an even bigger kick out of San Francisco banning nudity...barely (pun intended) 6-5.

Then we can also say it's unfair for them to pay for murderers' housing, beds, food, etc. instead of putting them to death and being done with it. These kinds of things need more scrutiny than just the surface of the water.

Also, since the criticism relates to trans-issues, I don't think we violated the TOS. 

It's ironic I hate fox news so much, considering how much I love foxes. I propose they change their name to something different. Badger news or something.

Let's try to stick to the high road and make our points without name calling, please. Thank you, hugs, Devlyn
