Second: the quotation marks were to have him know that I was referring to TG's. If on the other hand I've insulted or spoke out of turn in reference to any Transgendered, crossdresser or pre op. I apologize. All that said, I see many times where you try to shine over other comments, drag down other males & try to monopolize threads. So, to honor your tenure & your vast knowledge, I'll no longer reply to future threads, or any other comments from you.

I stand by what I wrote. The term "gurls" implies otherness from those born without female genitalia. As such, it is a form of ungendering. No amount of writing about me, ascribing to me things that aren't true, or sarcastically referring to my "tenure" or "knowledge" changes that simple fact.

The term "shemale" is also a form of ungendering, in my opinion. My transwomen friends seem to find this to be a marginally acceptable term invented for the purpose of pornography. We don't have to use it, despite that it may appear on a picture we post because of the site name. Other ungendering terms should also be avoided.
