I signed mine and still feel your post should have been hidden. Other felt differently.

********************

At Tue Dec 4, 2012, 03:41 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Free surgery finally for us who are Transgender I love it
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1926996

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</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This post repeats an ugly myth about mtf transgender people. See #2 on this list.
http://skepchick.org/2012/01/13-myths-and-misconceptions-about-trans-women-part-one/

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 4, 2012, 03:52 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Very poor taste, but I don't think that bad. One of my employees was transgender: the surgery required was significant and difficult and nothing to be laughed at. As one of my other employees said, "it much be really important if X is willing to go through all tha that".
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Insensitive and hurtful. I don't know what this poster is attempting with such a post, but he has failed. pecwae
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.
