The New York radio personalities who were fired last week after blasting the expansion of transgender health care benefits on the air have issued a formal apology.

Kimberly and Beck, formerly of of [sic] Rochester New York's 98.9 "Breakfast Buzz" show, released the following statement to All Access, among other media outlets:

    We are very sorry for the hurt and pain we have caused anyone, especially those in the Transgender community and their friends and families. What we said and the manner in which we handled ourselves was wrong; we take full responsibility and we deeply apologize to any and all that we offended.

    Our attempt was to discuss a controversial healthcare issue; however our lack of sensitivity and understanding of the Transgender people and their plight created 12 minutes of radio we that wish we could take back.

Of course they wish they can take it back, they lost their jobs, and I imagine a good salary to go with it. But the thing is that this all too common on the radio, DJ think they can pick on the transgender community with impunity. In 2012 a DJ from WPLR also said derogatory comments about a story out of Belgium about a man divorcing his wife because she's transgender and nothing was done.
