We should also be sending "Thank You" letters to Tyra Banks for giving Isis a shot on the show. I have always admired Tyra, but this has to have put her in a whole new level of admiration, at least for me. I never watched the show, but I will this year.

We also need to keep an eye on Letterman, Leno and the other late-night hosts, because they have had crude jokes about trans people in the past. This one is ripe for their stupid writers, especially Leno.

I didn't realize Fox News was still broadcasting, it's good to see they are still contributing to a safe America ;)

ET gave Isis a better welcoming into mainstream media: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRG0TgMDU-k . Although the other gals appear as complete ditzes.

The one thing the US-Weakly guy said that made sense is this is a marketing gimmick by ANTM to include a transgirl. I think that is correct (not that Fox would know anything about marketing to certain groups, no of course not). I am really looking forward to the social interaction between Isis and the other girls. I will be watching.

While my initial reaction was disgust, after considering the source; Fox News, who cares? After all, they are the channel for Klan members - not actual thinking individuals.

My solution is, don't watch them, turn the channel and maybe somebody send Gregg Jarrett a copy of "True Selves". So the next time he is "looking up" all the "confusing" terms he will better know how to identify himself.

Because seriously, he seems like a major closet case with his faux flippancy.

Secondly, instead of wasting time writing letters to Fox or such, how about not letting them advertise here on Bilerico?

As I post this reply, there is a "Fox Business" ad in the middle column?? WTF??

Moreover, policing "the late night talk shows" for "offensive speech" violations, seems a bit overboard.

I love reading and watching The Onion as well as South Park both of which make fun of everyone, including us.

Sometimes we need to lighten up, and sometimes we need to just look at the source - then move on, and sometimes situations demand action.

This however, at least in my opinion, is not one which demands attention.

Y'know, when you think about it, a T girl with experience in the pageant/ballroom scene would have a secret advantage over the other girls. The poses and voguing the ballroom girls do is certainly based on modeling, and Isis' poses, moves and walks are probably quite well practiced. I suspect she may do very, very well on that show - which would be the best revenge on the jerkweeds that run the Oxymoron Network, as well as Leno, who I can't stand anyway.

Dude, she's gorgeous. She totally has a shot at winning. And I love that she chose the name of a goddess for herself. Girlfriend is fierce!

Alexis Glick, the VP of Fox Business News and their morning anchor... It would appear that she's a Democrat.

Not really sure why it would matter that Ms. Glick is a Democrat.

This past Indiana Primary Election day I worked the polls for a Democratic candidate. There were also two others "Democrat" poll workers During the standard banter both called Senator Obama, N*, and one called me a "godless faggot" when the conversation referenced my partner and our boys.

Lest not forget, Kelly and I live in one of the most "liberal" "democratic" areas in Indiana, just outside Chicago in Lake County.

So just because Ms. Glick is a "Demopublican" it does not imbue her with immunity from holding bigoted personal views.

After all, she is willing to work for Fox News.
