The contestants for ABC's upcoming season of "The Bachelorette" were revealed Wednesday, and hidden between the guy who calls himself "the tickle monster" and another who used Tabasco in the bedroom, was a guy who made a comment the internet is now calling out as transphobic.
30-year-old Bryce, a firefighter from Orlando, listed on his "Bachelorette" bio that his worst fear on a first date would be, "The chick is actually a dude."
Bryce's comment is clearly not appropriate, and uproar from people who actually took the time to read all "The Bachelorette" bios (guilty) has set Twitter ablaze.

View StoryThe internet reacted soon after the release, and Bryce's quote even caught attention from one "RuPaul's Drag Race" winner and a trans actress who appeared on Caitlyn Jenner's show "I Am Cait."
Bryce from the Bachelorette's biggest fear is trans women who are attempting to conceal their birth sex. I see why yer single, douche bag.

Dear Bryce, on behalf of trans women I can assure you: none of us want to date your bland preppy 1980's teen movie villain rhombus ass. xo https://t.co/VbcN4bya4s

Bryce is scared of his dick getting confused by an attractive trans woman bc he's not secure enough to know it doesn't mean he's gay https://t.co/fRuMZIPrh3
