"I didn't realize that my words could really affect and hurt as bad and as negatively as they did – not only to the transgender community but also to our audience – our listeners, our backbone, if you will. My ignorance prevented me from understanding how hard a transgender's life is day to day — I never understood that and I'm very sorry for that. I ignorantly thought that name-calling was just that – name-calling. And due to my ignorance, I was wrong about that."—KRXQ radio host Arnie States, apologizing yesterday for laughing about violence toward transgender children
