Posting on the Queensland Pride website, Nova DJ Meshel Laurie said she was sorry for her involvement in the jokes, and her subsequent attack on trans activist Robyn Whittaker, who she labelled "humourless" and "reactionary".
In a significant back flip, Laurie admitted that she had been trying to get cheap laughs at the expense of the trans community.
