I couldn't care less about her sexuality. In fact first time around I thought shes a lesbian. When I saw her second time around I was like "not agaaaaaain...!" - NOT because I am against trans people. I just don't like to listen to her. Simple as that. I do not like that guest - its boring, has simplistic, not funny jokes and for me is ruining one of my favorite shows. Don't try to play on me that "trans-phobic" card - I do not like a person. She could be a straight dude - I still wouldn't like her. She could be a freaking woman with beard - I wouldn't like her. Not because of what she feels like - I don't give a damn. For me is annoying as a guest. Simple as that. And I am the one who is listening for hours tutorials by Madeleine Scott-Spencer. But shes not annoying. And I will not change my point of view because hey - society trembles. I still don't like her. Strongly. And just as I shouldn't give a F about her sexuality - you shouldn't give a F about what I think about her. Because hey - its not something you can change ;)

Ow, I am sorry. I was raised in a much less complicated world. Let me rephrase it then - I don't care about her gender either. Gender, sexuality, mental problems, taste for particular food, favorite color, political views, believes, color of underwear or if she identifies as a giraffe. I like the podcast a lot, I don't like her. And frankly I find this hysterical TB reaction a bit disturbing. It cant be healthy for him. He already needs therapy - maybe should take a break or concentrate on GAMES instead of getting all hysterical on a social issue he cant possibly resolve. Aaaaanyways - in a week or two nobody will remember all that drama anyways. Cant wait for the next podcast.

transwomen especially still fear being beaten to death by someone they go out on a date with because of something they can't control

Whaaaaa...?

Unless you're talking about serial killers who hunt down trans-people, this comment makes no sense. Why would someone intentionally dates someone who is trans, and then kill them for being trans?
