  2. If I read the article correctly, Bloomberg is apologizing for saying what he thinks some other people think. I don’t see anything wrong with referring to transgenders as “it” and “some guy wearing a dress” so Bloombergs comment was factually correct. And he apologizes, for what. No wonder I voted for Trump.
