Hi there, after reading this amazing article i am as well cheerful to share my ezperience here with colleagues.
well she IS a shemale. i mean she was born a he, and technically, at least biologically, is still a he.
just sayin.
That pathetic tabloid piece of shit excuse of a paper should apologise for every front cover it’s printed in the last month. Race hate inspiring garbage. It’s ACA in paperback. F@#$ you Courier Mail.
What is the point of writing a story about a controversial headline if you are going to censor it? You should at least do your readers the courtesy of letting us see what the fuss is about. What do you take us for?
How fucking disrespectful….
A new low for an already loathsome outfit. It says little about the mental health of Queenslanders that people still consume this poison on a daily basis.
Yes the editor should make a formal public apology for being transphobic and for the incorrect wording of the article.
The Courier-Mail has become a rag and has stooped to a new low.
Yes
