Hey Bungie, maybe not hire people that make transphobic jokes like these?
41% of transgender people attempt suicide at some point during their life. Jokes like these lead to our society not taking trans people seriously.
If you want Nolan North to do the Ghost voice for you, tell him to apologize for this comment. It has seriously lowered my anticipation for TTK. Thanks.

guess people will cry about anything anymore. the amount of sheer stupidity in the world is only amplified as time goes on. 1) not transphobic in anyway, anyone who construes it as such is mentally handicapped and more than likely is incapable of coherent speech. and 2) if by any margin it was intended to be offensive its hardly even worth mentioning there are more subtle ways to insult people, 3) 97% of all statistics are made up on the spot 4) suicide is not a problem that only affects LGBT people it affects everyone of every race, every sexual orientation, every belief, adding that tidbit in to make it seem more offensive or convey that its more possible because they are LGBT that they will attempt it is simply absurd and shies away from the fact that suicide is a far larger problem than you make it appear by making statements like these and is in very bad taste. Further quit spreading your "I, we, they're special" kind of mentality with such statements its detrimental to the image these communities have worked hard to build, the only way "normal" people will see them as normal people is if such statements are no longer spread around, treating them as if they were walking carnival acts doesn't make them feel any better and only serves to further remind them that they're are a lot of people that will treat them differently because of who they are or what they believe in. Good day and #StopTheIgnorance.
