He also said he couldn't work out if he's pre or post op.

The thing is nowadays coming out with transphobic comments is deemed equally as unacceptable as homophobic or racist comments, which is what has been picked up on with this latest outburst. He's now also made himself look a foolish hypocrite because of his recent anti-homophobia campaign for gay footballers. This has since been pointed out to him and I suspect he'll now regret his comments and retract them. He's no fool (most of the time) and will realise he's embarrassed himself once again. Doubt OM will look favourably on it either.
