		<description>Shoot, I missed that. I was recalling watching the conversation happen and I don&#039;t think I saw it initially, so when it was quoted, it seemed off to me, because the last thing I&#039;d read was the equipment comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;m sorry for that mistake. I should have reread the screen caps.</description>

		<description>Rockin&#039;: Yes she did. I was quoting her because &lt;i&gt;that&#039;s what she said&lt;/i&gt; and it contributed to my sense that she was being insensitive to trans people. I wouldn&#039;t just throw a quote out there for no reason.</description>

		<description>Rockin, she *did* say &quot;saw their vag.&quot; I screencapped it at the beginning of this post. It&#039;s right here: https://twitter.com/DarlingDove/status/8843854604&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;...ones I can&#039;t tell are girls till I see their vag.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I copy and pasted those tweets word for word.</description>

		<description>Since this has cooled, I&#039;d like to point out for anyone who stumbles upon this later, that DarlingDove never said one of the things that people have been throwing back and forth. She never said &quot;saw their vag.&quot; Epiphora did. I don&#039;t know what she was trying to quote, but it was a misquote. DarlingDove said &quot;were men before I saw their uncovered equipment&quot; and for some reason after Epiphora said the &quot;saw their vag&quot; part, DD said she didn&#039;t have room to type vagina, which didn&#039;t even make sense to me since she didn&#039;t say vag in the first place. I say all this because I was watching the Twitter convo and also I read the above text. It&#039;s possible that there was another person involved that I didn&#039;t follow, but either way the text didn&#039;t make it into the original post here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pretty much agree w/ the commenter April above me.</description>

		<description>So here&#039;s my opinion and you know I&#039;m always going to be honest, so here it goes: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing that I think DD could possibly have said initially that would upset someone is that she referred to the transgendered man as a woman. And he is not a woman. Even though he has a vagina. Inside, he thinks he&#039;s a man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to know how someone who isn&#039;t knowledgeable of the LGBT community is supposed to know, after seeing a vagina, that the person is transgendered? Can you see how they feel on the inside? Maybe DD just thought he was a very butch female? I&#039;m sure it&#039;s easy for you to identify trans people but that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s easy for everyone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even still, you wrote, &quot;You&#039;re a transphobe because you&#039;ve insulted someone else&#039;s gender presentation by completely refusing to accept or understand how it could be desirable or acceptable for someone, just because it isn&#039;t to you.&quot; Maybe I missed it, but she didn&#039;t say, &quot;I don&#039;t see how anyone could possibly like this kind of porn.&quot; She said SHE didn&#039;t find it desirable. She didn&#039;t say it was unacceptable either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think you guys jumped her tweets inappropriately. Maybe you could&#039;ve just said BEFORE calling her a transphone, &quot;Hey, just so you know, the one&#039;s who you can&#039;t tell are girls til you see their vag are not actually women. They&#039;re transgendered men. And calling them women is offensive. I&#039;m not sure if you knew that or not.&quot; Maybe you could&#039;ve educated her right off the bat instead of making your own assumptions about her opinion, which it was, her opinion, and not called her a transphobe. And then to call her an awful human being in your title? Wow. I can see why she responded the way she did on your comments. You and Epiphora definitely could&#039;ve looked at this as an opportunity to educate someone in a nice way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know I heart you, Brit, but I think this was poorly handled and completely made into something it wasn&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Um. Crazy lady is crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you NOT care if you&#039;re transphobic (or a phobe of any sort)? That&#039;s just... well, it&#039;s just plain shitty.</description>

		<description>Okay, your other tweet is up. It doesn&#039;t change the point at all, but there ya go. And I didn&#039;t publicly tarnish your name, nor do I have any desire to see you &quot;suffer.&quot; YOU made this about you by having hissy fits in my comments. And YOU tweeted all this in the first place, so you&#039;ve already publicly shared these words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calm down. People disagree about shit. The &quot;awful human being&quot; reference was more towards the &quot;I don&#039;t care if I&#039;m transphobic&quot; comment. Because to me, that implies that you don&#039;t care that you&#039;re insulting people. Once it&#039;s been pointed out to you, even if you were doing it unknowingly before then, there are ways to go about rectifying that. But instead you got butthurt and decided that you didn&#039;t care about being ignorant (because you had no desire to look anything up, research, or ask) or phobic. THAT was the part that offended me so greatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you chose to attach your name to this, which I respect. I wasn&#039;t the one that did so. I was using your words to make a point WITHOUT &quot;tarnishing&quot; your name.</description>

		<description>DD, I have no idea why you are freaking out over this to the extent that you are. I&#039;ve now posted your comments in their entirety. It&#039;s also not libel or slander, I never mentioned your name. YOU mentioned your name. And you would really pursue a lawsuit over something like this if you had the money? WOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You keep saying &quot;I don&#039;t care,&quot; but you clearly do. If it was a personal attack on you, your name would have been mentioned. It wasn&#039;t. I was making a point. YOU turned it into an attack.</description>

		<description>So, take this how you will. I&#039;m sure it will be some kind of a &#039;win&#039; for you or something. But before you make comments about me being awful, and wish for me to be ostracized even more in life, maybe you should stop and take a look at the full implications of what you, yourself are doing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you keep this up, even with my comments in their entirety, I&#039;ll still consider it telling that you&#039;d rather ostracize someone publicly for what boils down to tactless preferential comments, than consider that maybe thats all they were- tactless preferential comments. That you&#039;d publicly put a permanent mark on an individual for their preference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if I came on twitter and said &quot;KILL ALL TRANNIES, FUCK ALL JEWS, BURN THE GAYS AND FURRIES&quot; then by all means, PLEASE slander me. Please do. But I am not going to do anything like that. Because contrary to what you think, I have no PROBLEM with transsexual people or transgender people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and for the record &#039;Connie&#039;, I&#039;ve seen cisgender used multiple times on the EF forums to mean someone born into their proper gender, IE; &quot;cismales&quot; and &quot;transmales&quot; in comparison, so this issue with definition is not entirely my fault. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be my last post on your blog. Whether you take it down or leave it up is your decision, but I have made my wishes known. I am poor, and I do not have the money to pursue a slander or libel-based lawsuit, so you do not have to worry about that. I will just go back to my life, being &#039;an awful human being&#039;, and wondering where, on the &quot;reviewer signup&quot; sheet it said &quot;Must be an expert in tact, and must never say anything that might even slightly offend any group in the universe, or else they are subject to public libel and defamation&quot;. I really did miss that part. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farewell.</description>
