DUmmy rejects use of the word "tranny"

P.S.A. 'Tranny' is incredibly offensive to the LGBTIQ community. [View all]
perhaps you don't know it.

perhaps you use it to get under the skin of LGBTIQ folks who you think too 'activist' about their issues.

perhaps you think some other unsavory things about the LGBTIQ folks.

but here's the Public Service Announcement -- 'tranny' is like using the n* word or any number of other racially charged or sexist charged words.

personally i'm skeptical that DUers don't know that -- but just in case.

Then you must REALLY hate faggot...butt pirate...ass monkey...cornhole cowboy...and so on.

Typical attention-seeking from homo DUmmies whose names haven't been called enough lately, what with Trayvon and such.

I also hate the word "t****y". I've never used it or even heard it used for sexual deviants - I only see it on the internet.

I have heard it used as an awful baby-talk substitute for transmission.

Just like v****e, y***y, and t***y, or another sickening term, "uni" in place of "uniform".

Then I guess the pervs and deviants at DU will just have another reason to hate me.  

BTW, DUmmies, when I write "I put a tranny in my car", it doesn't mean I picked up a cross-dressing hitch hiker along the road somewhere.  It means, "I put a tranny (transmission) in my car"!  

If "tranny" offends some DUmmies, GOOD!   :lmao:

I remember the good old days, when saying "I blew the tranny" started a discussion about cars, not gay sex.

There's an entire H.&M. thread about it now - a jury voted to let it stand...

A jury I just served on allowed a post with the slur "tranny" to stand.
Ew.

Also, for some reason, my comment, that the term is insensitive to transgendered people, was not included in the jury results. I'm sure I clicked all the right buttons to include my comment when I voted to hide the post.

Apparently, this was the post:

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

At Mon Apr 16, 2012, 04:36 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

obfuscate much

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

It is my understanding that the word 'tranny' is offensive and not allowed on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 16, 2012, 04:42 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: That was not my understanding. Is transsexual a banned term? The shortening of it shouldn't be.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


How do juries continue to get it so incredibly wrong?

The homo Mafia apparently hasn't gotten enough attention lately, so one of their under-bosses has to drop a "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" post.
