International Business Times flaunt transphobic 'she-male ' J.Lo. headline

Apparently the IBN formally a respected international news source is desperate for click generating revenue. The publication has chosen to race for the bottom beating grocery store tabloids, even Dirt.com with a defamatory headline and transphobic story.

....being known to like trans woman is humiliating and he wanted to see her WHAT?!!....


Dirty.com and intouchweekly.com insinuated in their articles that if a partner is outed as a "chaser",  aka a transsexual fetishist, its the worst possible insult to the cisgender woman. That's bad but what expect fom tabloids? There's no accounting for them. But when a respected international news source ups the ante with their defamatory headline,  that's unacceptable.

The problem with this race to the bottom is other less reputable rags take their cue's from from mainstream media and seeing no repercussions and having nothing to lose will mimic the IBN, or worse..
