From ONTD: “On June 11 TLC aired an episode of their hit show Cake Boss. The episode was named, “Bar Mitzvah, Beads & Oh Baby!” featuring special guest, Carmen Carrera. The plot of the episode was to use Carmen to lure one of the bakery’s employees to flirt with her as a prank. Before filming, Carmen educated producers on what terms to use and what phrases would not be offensive, i.e. “Carmen was BORN male” or “Carmen is a transgendered woman”. Producers AGREED to respect her wishes, however, when the show aired it was a blatant “THAT’S A MAN” moment – very reminiscent of trashy shows like Jerry Springer or Maury.” (via Facebook)
