No other group receives as much hate and non-acceptance as transgendered people. As far as I'm concerned, on the shitbag scale I can't think of too many who rate lower than transphobes. Trying to parse out one bigot's ideas as admirable is like saying David Duke is really a great guy, but I'm just not down with all that racism stuff.
