This Week's Quote: "The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another." —Milton Friedman

What are these twits going to do when they have a student who's trans and gets bullied for it?  While you can make a (wrong but) coherent argument that this student was being 'flamboyant' with affecting some traditionally female accoutrement, it won't work as an excuse at all with a trans person.
