COMPLETELY F**KED.” In the now-deleted post, Tamra commented, “Wow that’s sad. 5-year-old cannot make a decision like that.”

Fans then slammed Tamra in the comments section of her Instagram. "WOW! Transphobia @tamrajudge ???? You liked and commented support for your homophobic son's post??? You've been the only person that saved RHOC for me. Orange County has been such a scary place for me growing up: large amounts of white supremacy, racism, homopohobia and Republicans etc. I always admired your supposed support for my community while going against the grain. So disappointed in you,” one person wrote.

Ryan’s Instagram account has since been deleted after he suggested a murder plot against someone who sued a Colorado baker for refusing to make a cake celebrating their gender transition. He wrote, “Hopefully this guy goes on a rampage and kills whatever transgendered f**k head took him to court. Ooops did I just say that.”
