A rental car company’s ad joking about Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner’s transformation into a woman went ill-received by liberals, but the company has thus far not relented to the negative, PC criticism.
The ad, sent in a tweet from the multi-national Sixt Rent a Car company, invites customers to try their new luxury Audi Q5 crossover vehicle, while specifically asking the newly formed Caitlyn Jenner to try it.
HEY, CAITLYN. TRY THIS CROSSOVER.
(The Audi Q5 from Sixt. Only $49/day)

Sixt’s tweet also included many popular pro-transgender, Caitlyn Jenner-related hashtags, infuriating Twitter users who demanded the company apologize for their “transphobic” ad, delete the tweet or delete their account altogether.
@SixtUSA 1. This doesn't make sense? 2. It's probably transphobic and you should stfu.

.@SixtUSA someone should address this and apologize for the blatant transphobia in this ad. This is NOT ok.

Looks like @SixtUSA is gunning to be the OFFICIAL rent-a-wreak for #bigots, #Transphobic and associated hate groups.

@SixtUSA What. The. Fuck? Rude. Wrong. Poor taste. If you wouldn't say it about a cis-gendered person, it's transphobic.

@SixtUSA this is horrible, and @Audi should be freaking out that you included them in your hateful tweet.

@SixtUSA delete your business

Others pointed out there was nothing transphobic in the tweet, and that maybe there were more important things to be getting outraged about.
@quinnthereaux @auchamps4life @SixtUSA phobias are fears, they're not scared, it was a joke.

@quinnthereaux @SixtUSA Transphobic? Outrage culture has really gotten out of hand. Jeez the stupidity.

@quinnthereaux @SixtUSA no everybody is being over sensitive. PC Culture had ruined America.

Last month, Infowars pointed out another example of “liberal tolerance” when transgender reporter Zoey Tur threatened to put conservative political pundit Ben Shapiro in the hospital for daring to say that wearing a dress didn’t make Tur a biological female.
