Current music:The White Stripes - Expecting

I've been sitting on this thread for almost a month now, but...

You know the little bit of wank around the trans community in the previous post?

Well...

This is from the Trans Issues section of the Venus Envy fanboard. This board is a happy land of constant flamewars.

In this one, we start out with a question about going "stealth."

By the middle of the second page, the argument has started.

We get into early transitioners vs. late transitioners, teens vs. adults, "colonization", offense, the difference being a transwoman and a woman (this is mostly MtF's arguing...), hatred of anyone going another path, white male privelege...

And on...

And on...

And on...

After eight pages, everyone just sort of...wanders off. They all seem mad, but it just...stops.

Ye gods...

Call me thick along with nexy jo but I didn't see the condescension that bacon and company took so much offense to. Maybe there's history I'm missing? However, I see in bacon the faces of soooo many former college classmates who would find something offensive in *everything* - true or imagined - and would complain loudly about it. I also notice bacon has very few posts logged in, so it looks like she was referred to the board to start trolling arguing. Dunno. But very wanky, yes.
