“Regardless of how one may feel about the policy in question, there is no excuse for referring to other human beings as ‘it.'”
Jim Burton, Supervisor for Loudoun County, VA, taking to task his fellow Supervisor, Eugene Delgaudio, for an e-mail that used insulting language to describe MTF transgenders. Delgaudio issued several defensive apologies, mostly trying to claim that “it” was referring to a policy, not a human being. Most agree his remarks did not come across that way, since he had just blurted out similarly hostile remarks at the previous meeting. It’s reported that he also referred to “crossdressing freaks” in the e-mail. (Loudoni.com)
