I know I’m a little late with the update here, but I’ve been on a brief vacation (and working on some more science articles). In a follow-up to last weeks controversy where two Rochester New York “shock jocks” took their transphobia to the air, their radio station suspended, then summarily fired them.

From what I know of the radio industry, however, what is likely to happen is these “personalities” will transfer to another station, take on new on-air pseudonyms, and just watch their mouths a little more. In short, the hate will remain, it will just get smarter.
