LANGUAGE POLICE: Politically Correct Piers Morgan Falls Prey to P.C. Police in Furor Over Transgender[sic]ism.
PIERS MORGAN: I have spent an infuriating 24 hours – and I want you to explain why I’ve had to go through this because – let me start from this premise. I have always been 100 percent supportive of all gay rights, gay marriage rights, transgender[sic] rights. In fact, I want equality for everyone in America and around the world. That’s always been my position. Anyone who watches this show knows that’s exactly what I’ve always stood for.
I had you on the show. You had – you wrote a very powerful book. I did nothing but laud your courage. I said you’re a fantastic person to be out there – center stage – sending the message that there’s no need to stigmatize transgender[sic] people. I called you a woman throughout the interview. I never disputed the fact that you’re a woman. And yet today, I have spent literally 12 hours being viciously abused by the transgender[sic] community – egged on by your own Tweeting last night – that you were somehow very dismayed by the way the interview had gone.
If you’re vilified no matter what, then stop playing their game.
