X-critic also against Transsexuals

[Genetic]

Good grief. So another person jumps on the bandwagon.

What in god's green earth could you possibly have taken slight from in my response directed to YOU... [snip ranting and raving]

Honestly, Genetic... I am just not sure AT ALL how anything I wrote in direct reply to YOU could be taken as anything but a straight answer to your question. That is how I intended it and how it was written (and I've re-read it several times now). Please explain.

There's no bandwagon here. I repeatedly said it was my opninion and my opinion only that it is deceptive and wrong for a website to promote gay men in women's clothing as transexuals. I'm only replying now because you've asked for an explanation which I feel you deserve

The "offense could be taken" part of my post was in regard to the line you have taken about early stages TS and TVs being hard to tell apart. And I fully admit I worded it badly. As you like using bold and I hope this clarifies my stance - I agree with you but some people who identify with the opposite gender may not appreciate hearing that they look no different to a man in a wig. Hell if everyone's panties are in a bunch over the words "tranny", "shemale" and any other perceived sleight, someone is bound to take offense to the opinion you offered even if it's the truth.

My comment about knowing better than to reply to you is because you and I have crossed paths before on this forum and I knew that any reply to your post would result in you replying with an aggressive post longer than the longest of Wikipedia articles. It isn't intended to be offensive to you, I just am aware that you don't make short posts (neither do I) and I know that I should be spending my time doing something more productive than arguing semantics on the interwebz, whether on this subject or any other. Honestly, everyone in this thread has wasted a lot of their life in arguing over pedantic issues.

Believe me, I have only replied now in order to answer your question which I hope will make you realise that my last post was my admitting I stood corrected, and further that I took no offense to it.

Thanks for clearing your stance up. I appreciate it and consider the matter closed, as well as any previous conversations (which I don't recall off the top of my head... so I must have considered those closed as well), amicably.

BTW... do people realize that my posts are really not that long? It is just that I quote the full person in every post, because I think that is fair to do so my reply is seen with the original post. If you take all the quotes out of my posts, as well as line breaks to keep points / ideas separate, they really are not that long... paragraph or two most times. Also, maybe it is because I have two high resolution monitors that I work on and people are viewing at a lower resolution. I know when I checked this thread on my phone, it seemed like I had to scroll for days.

Anyway.

Shouldn't we be celebrating the fact both IAFD and Xcritic are implementing changes??

What changes are xcritic performing? If anything they seem to be the most vocal about making sure us TS bullies are put in our place so that we shut up and take any abuse that comes our way. I think this industry has seen its last days of when TS Performers are going to keep our mouths shut about how the "straight side" treats us.

Exactly Amy. I have read the behind the scenes emails from people about Xcritic and I have spoke to the owner , only thing that came was they are going to give us our own "section". However the views of the owner via twitter were LOUD and clear.

Great step but unless one's viewpoint changes then not sure how that makes it successful.

How dare you attempt to bring this weary thread back on topic....

But seriously, thanks Amy. Maybe we'll get just a little sanity back at last.

No need to be just kidding. I sincerely apologize to the OP for getting so way off topic. It seems to be my nature to do so in most serious threads. I think way too fast for my own good sometimes and it doesn't help matters that I can type a mile a minute as well.

Also, I apologize to those having to sift through and read. I have read through all my posts again, and although already conceded and explained, I will take full responsibility for being condescending / rude at times and I apologize to those who felt / know I have been so to them. Whether deservedly or not, it is not the way I want to be viewed, nor is it the way I want to treat people. I stand by my points... not the way they were communicated and said.

2013 is a New Year. Let's start it off as such and let bygones be bygones.

No problems Krissy. When people are passionate about an issue it usually makes sense to work it to exhaustion. Nowadays we do it over the internet; before we'd have argued in a bar and then had a drink together. That's just how it is.

Anyway, in the spirit of your post, here's wishing you the very best of all possible years in 2013.

Thanks and to you as well!
