Bryce Powers- Transphobic Comment

Bachelorette contestant is already being labeled the bad guy before the show even started. A contestant on the forthcoming season of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” is under fire for a statement the LGBT community is calling transphobic.

After Bryce’s racist remark, The Bachelorette’s ABC website is loaded with full bios and Q&As with all 31 contestants vying for bachelorette Rachel Lindsay. Firefighter Bryce Powers has stirred up social media with his.

In his biography on the network’s website, the 33-year-old firefighter answered a series of questions, and there was one response that got members of the LGBT community steaming mad when Powers was asked,

“What’s your biggest date fear?”

His answer:

“The chick is actually a dude.”

That sparked a flood of comments on social media just days ahead of Rachel Lindsay’s debut as the first-ever African-American bachelorette. RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Sharon Needles tweeted,

“Bryce from the Bachelorette’s biggest fear is trans women who are attempting to conceal their birth sex. I see why yer single, douche bag.”
