Fox News regular suspended from ad company he co-founded for offensive transphobia post

Gavin McInnes, a frequent Fox News guest booked for his penchant for making outlandish comments, may have gone too far with a column on transphobia he penned for Thought Catalog.

According to Adweek, McInnes has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence from his position as Chief Creative Officer at Rooster NYC, an ad agency he co-founded in 2010.

The column, ‘Transphobia Is Perfectly Natural,’ proved to be so offensive to readers of Thought Catalog — known for outrageous and contrarian posts — that the website inserted a splash page that appears before the column warning, “The article you are trying to read has been reported by the community as hateful or abusive content.”

Among the least offensive assertions McInnes made in his essay, he wrote: “We’re all transphobic. We aren’t blind. We see there are no old trannies. They die of drug overdoses and suicide way before they’re 40 and nobody notices because nobody knows them. They are mentally ill gays who need help, and that help doesn’t include being maimed by physicians. These aren’t women trapped in a man’s body. They are nuts trapped in a crazy person’s body.”

Note to Gavin:

1. What an idiot

2. the article has to be seen to be believed

I can't fathom how he thought he could get away with writing that and signing his name.

5. He has a long history of saying/writing completely outrageous, offensive things, and sadly

he does have a following. Him leaving Vice was probably the best thing that ever happened to them.

3. "there are no old trannies"

They get beaten and murdered by the same sorts of transphobes as this ass.

4. WOW

"They are nuts trapped in a crazy person’s body." McInnes must be speaking about himself.

6. I read the "article"... Not only is it ridiculous and awful, but it quite transparently displays

Mr. McInnes's fear of castration. Freud would have a field day.
