GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

Thanks for facilitating it with your petulance.

A little over sensitive much?

We are just trying to inject a little humor into the use of terminology, about which many people have strong feelings.

I think that people speaking of transgendered people might leave out the "people" part on account of most people know what they mean,

Language is constantly evolving. Kareal is just looking for some basic support, can't we be civil enough for that?

I am proud of you, Kareal. You seem to have come to a point where you can follow your calling yet retain your identity as a transgendered person. That takes a certain amount of courage, which a few of the responders probably couldn't do.

I was inspired by the story of a FtM rabbi at the Reform Jewish seminary. He has done a lot for the alphabet soup community, at least the jewish ones. This person sounds similar. You have a chance to do some good.

Some of us are out, some are stealth. To each her own.

You go, girl!

I don't think there was anything uncivil about my correction.

The main point was that she didn't have any sense of humor about the terminology subject, despite multiple attempts to inject a little levity into it. I also agree that Vexing's interjection was quite civil.

IMHO Vex is uncivil by nature. We all know that but someone who is not used to her ways may not realize it. Sometimes it is better to smile than attack. I shall pray.....

aye, prayer is a good thing. I too will pray for Vex.

that will drive her crazy LOL

Eh?

Passive aggression does not equal intelligent discourse.

Some people aren't able to work that out for themselves.
