I brought it up, and the other items, because they came up in the flamewar surrounding that image, but yes, the point that was being made is that if there is no extra effort made to make sure your audience knows the character being portrayed is trans, then trans is not being represented.

My apologies for putting things poorly. As QoH said, I've mentioned in a different thread that I can barely keep track of which term refers to what lifestyle/trait/whatever, so I generally avoid topics like this. I still have to disagree about transpeople not being obvious, as per the point I'd originally tried to make. Some of them may not be, but my experience says otherwise.
Her3tik, you have groupies.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The best part for me is the preview screen cap for the second video on the page.



History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Shouldn't it say liberals instead of conservatives?
