After a firestorm of complaints from LGBT activists and allies, "RuPaul's Drag Race" came to their senses and pulled the problematic "Female or She-male" episode from the series.
Here's a statement from "RuPaul's Drag Race" and Logo TV sent to HuffPo:
We wanted to thank the community for sharing their concerns around a recent segment and the use of the term 'she-mail' on Drag Race.Classy, but very late.
Logo has pulled the episode from all of our platforms and that challenge will not appear again.
Furthermore, we are removing the 'You've got she-mail' intro from new episodes of the series.
We did not intend to cause any offense, but in retrospect we realize that it was insensitive. We sincerely apologize.

It is late, but I'm glad they did this.
Too late for me to give the show a third chance. They lost one viewer in me.
