I guess he never got that memo. What’s interesting to me is that, according to some, Christian Siriano *is* “transgender” because he flouts some aspects of normative gender for a man.

Even though the astonishing, jaw droppingly offensive comments re trans people were originally enough to shock me it was also the 'white trash women' that made me blink. Clearly making negative comments about any of the people he did is not on. Particularly when one considers this isn't just some radical hatemonger but someone parroting ignorant views held by a lot of people. But it's not just trans that he's hating on. Clearly he thinks "drag queens and trannies" are the lowest of the low in the queer community. And that the equivalent of the lowest of the low are women from poor socio-economic backgrounds with little access to a quality education of any kind in area. I kind of think rapists come somewhere in the category of the lowest of the low myself. P.s. This guy is some kind of hero to Perez Hilton and this comment has been published on his site with little admonishment. So now one of the biggest internet audiences has heard this and now thinks "oh well he is gay and he says it so it's totally acceptable for me to continue oppressing trans people." It hasn’t really been mentioned and i’m not totally confident in my point here but i’d like to mention it to go along with the rest.

Everyone I know now thought he was soooo awesome and adorable when he got on Project Runway, despite my repeated assertions that in high school, he was vapid, petty, and kind of a dick. Five years hasn't changed much about him, it seems. I went to high school with him.

Considering it is in his state and the fact the USN commissioned the Village People to create that song/video to bolster naval recruitment, he should have no problems getting in. ;) He'll also have the bonus of going to the same school as one of the current presidential candidates!! :D
