(38,664 posts)Transgender women are disproportionately the victims of sex crimes. To allow Milo to portray them as the perpetrators is beyond the pale.
That offense was not something little he might just miss that was caught by someone with eagle eyes watching videos over and over for any hint of offfensive.
I'd never run across this Milo character before - and was watching the video because of a point that was made later on that someone was pointing too. I could barely stand to watch it. I think he should have been called on the hatred and the "we're all guys her, yuk-yuk, earlier in the conversation. But for Maher to permit Milo's twisting of the reality that leaves far too many of my friends raped, maimed, or dead into an accusation that they are disproportionately perpetrators, is beyond the pale.
If you haven't watched it, you should. http://www.vox.com/identities/2017/2/18/14659650/larry-wilmore-milo-yiannopoulos-bill-maher
