The comments made by Nick Picholas and Janet Snyder of WKSE-FM. Buffalo, NY concerning the pregnancy of Trans man Scott Moore are inappropriate, immature and insensitive.
Western New York has recently experienced a ration of hate crimes committed against Transgender people including rape and murder.
Picholas' and Snyder's comments this morning fuel anti Transgender hate and cast a negative shadow on Transgender people and their families as being something abnormal.
Please contact WKSE-FM's general manager, Greg Reid, WKSE-FM's program director, Sue O'Neil,on air personalities, Nick Picholas and Janet Snyder. Let them know you will not tolerate such comments and demand an on air apology
