Reply #37: It was an excellent OP. You'll get no argument there.

Calling people who simply don't know that the past tense of 'transgender' means something particular 'bigoted' or 'homophobic' is entirely intolerant of you.

Not everyone invests themselves in understanding protocols they are not familiar with. Why? Because they didn't know there was a protocol to begin with.

Please, THINK about this. I'll give you that opportunity where you have already placed judgement; give people a CHANCE to understand before condemning them. If they reject the fair and empathetic protocol, then you can pass your judgement.

Until then, please learn to distinguish between 'trolls' and 'uneducated posters'.

And thank you for helping to educate us. I've used 'transgendered' before, and simply had no idea that it meant something more than I thought.

Should I have been TS'd?
