The leftist social justice warriors ate one of their own this weekend when they harangued actress/singer Bette Midler for making a wisecrack about Caitlyn Jenner formerly known as Bruce. 

With her "transphobic" tweet now deleted as of Monday, the largely leftwing Midler has been taking a walk of shame through the halls of social media to apologize for the most rudimentary of quips regarding the self-identified "transgender" Olympic gold medalist. 

Though Midler has largely been a gay community icon, the tweet deeply upset her base of left-wing sycophants and they drew blood...Fast. 

HuffPost Gay Voices got in on the action too, with transgender activist Alexandra Billings penning this self-pitying diatribe:

I cannot take my Transness off, Ms. Midler, and it has taken me 54 years of survival through centuries of violence and suicides, to finally make friends with my past. And I will not be the butt of your jokes simply because you cannot take the time to write from a place of truth, instead of a place of fear.

That "place of fear" immediately prompted Midler to give what some have considered a half-hearted apology:

Another win for the Commissars of Social Justice. Another loss for sanity and truth.
