when i heard about it, I figured it had been clear she was using it to illustrate the failiness of the example in general, that the same people who use 'I have trans friends' demonstrate their fail both with the using it to mean they cant be transphobic, and by using that word while they do it. Which is still not neccesarily an acceptable excuse for dropping that word, is it, now that I think about it.
Also, I was not there and you were, therefore I was basing that on my assumptions about vito's intent, not how it actually was said.
