Apologies in advance if I get this wrong - this is my first diary, although I've been a dkos lurker for years.
Two radio jocks on KRXQ, a Sacramento, CA, station engaged in a remarkable dialogue about transgender people, in which they advocated violence against transgender children.
Sample quotes:
If my son, God forbid, if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes. I would throw a shoe at him. Because you know what? Boys don't wear high heels. And in my house, they definitely don't wear high heels.
More, and worse, below the fold.
Another quote from the discussion which lasted over thirty minutes:
You know, my favorite part about hearing these stories about the kids in high school, who the entire high school caters around, lets the boy wear the dress. I look forward to when they go out into society and society beats them down. And they end up in therapy.

GLAAD is all over this with a Call to Action. And people have been contacting advertisers with some apparent results. Conveniently, KRXQ has a page which lists all of its advertisers. You can also contact the general manager of the station to express your outrage:
