Todd’s Take: Don’t Call ME Trans-Phobic!

After taking a three-day weekend and staying home Monday, I returned to the radio station Tuesday morning only to see that a bit of a maelstrom broke out on our Facebook page during my absence.

It's seems that my morning show co-host Andy posed the following question regarding Caitlyn Jenner's recent transformation from man to woman:

"Does anyone know what the hospital does with the severed penises they get after a man undergoes the surgery to be a woman?"

The comments thread devolved quickly when one, seemingly, upset listener posted this:

I won't speak for anybody else but I can assure you that I do not have a phobia of trans-ANYTHING!

For instance, I do not dislike, out of hand, things that are transparent. Windows? Huge fan, here. Who doesn't find the genius that is Saran Wrap? And I most certainly want my politicians to be transparent!

Try again.

Transportation? Again, all for it.  Especially modes of rapid transit because walking, frankly, sucks ass.

I'm even a fan of some of the trannys that most of the rest of society considers "bad" like, for example, trans fats. Hell, I drink whole milk like it was my mother's!

And, lastly, I think we can all agree that the world is a better place with Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots keeping us all safe from the Decepticons.

Transformers, much like me -- there's more than meets the eye.
