We’ve seen the meaning of the term “tolerance” take a 180° turn over the last 20 years.

India definitely has A LOT to learn but she was right to be angry about Genuwine saying he wouldn’t date a trans woman, the inclination is most certainly transphobic

The R&B singer, appearing on the U.K. reality show “Big Brother,” is being slammed as a transphobe for refusing to kiss his male-to-female transgender co-star India Willoughby on live TV.
When discussing dating, Willoughby complained that Ginuwine would date women but not him, claiming he really is a woman. When Ginuwine conceded that he would not date Willoughby if he knew he were trans, things escalated.
“I’m a woman, right,” said Willoughby. “Forget about any ‘t’s, or anything in front of it. So, on that score, you would date me, wouldn’t you?”
“Not if you told me you was trans,” replied Ginuwine.
“No, no, I’m not telling you I’m trans,” Willoughby insisted. “I’m a woman.”
“A woman? Yeah,” answered the “Pony” singer.
This, for some reason, promoted Willoughby to grab Ginuwine’s neck and lean in for a kiss. Ginuwine appeared to be extremely uncomfortable at this moment and quickly pulled away.
Ginuwine’s rejection of the advances came with backlash; he’s now being accused of transphobia.
