Hitz FM - Tone Deaf?

Controversy is brewing over a video produced by a local radio station that some say encourages hatred of trans-gendered people.

Meant to be humorous the video which was produced by Hitz FM and starring two of its DJs shows the two expressing disgust at the sight of a transwoman.

A recipient of the 2016 U.S. International Women of Courage Award, we asked our guest if such videos not only increase the marginalisation of the community but potentially lead to hate crimes as well.
