Former porn queen Jenna Jameson has attacked Playboy bosses for featuring their first transgender playmate in the new issue of the men’s magazine. The ex-adult actress and model doesn’t believe transgender models belong in Playboy, and in a new Twitter rant, she explains she’s not a fan of Ines Rau’s new photoshoot for the publication. “So @playboy just announced it will be featuring its first transgender playmate…,” she writes. “I have a problem with it just like I have a problem with a transgender competing against biological women in sports… And women and men are two different things.”

Jameson was hit by a barrage of criticism for her remarks, prompting her to return to Twitter and state: “Just because I don’t agree with a trans person being in Playboy doesn’t mean I’m ‘transphobic’. People these days with all their ‘phobics’.”
“I think it’s setting fire to an iconic brand and pandering to this ridiculous PC world we live in,” she adds.
