Ultimate Spiderman actor Drake Bell, said something he probably shouldn’t have.  The actor famous for Spidey and Drake in Drake and Josh, tweeted the following: “Sorry…still calling you Bruce” in regards for Caitlyn Jenner’s big Vanity Fair cover where she finally confirms her name.   The tweet quickly spread throughout Twitter and the media before it was removed from his personal Twitter account.

We’re hoping that the Twitter post shows his remorse and he will work to improve his view of transpersons.  He can start by reaching out to said organizations, Jenner, and document his change.

Update: Here’s his apology as from his Twitter:

I sincerely apologize for my thoughtless insensitive remarks. I in no way meant to hurt or demean those going through a similar journey.

Although my comments were made in innocence, I deeply regret the negative effect they've had on so many.
