REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post is highly insensitive. This person is reducing Bruce Jenner's gender identity to his "crotch." I know that some people think any sort of rude comment is okay when you are talking about Republicans, but please keep in mind that we have many transgender people here (and allies) who do not appreciate seeing gender identity reduced to a person's "crotch." There is already another thread pointing out how inappropriate this post is. Please send a message that Democratic Underground is tolerant and accepting of transgender people by voting to hide this post. Thank you for your time.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 27, 2015, 10:54 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is yet another in a long line of posts mocking Jenner for being transgendered, and the alerter is exactly correct that WinkyDink is equating genitalia with identity. Although clearly intended as a joke, this sort of thinking is retrograte and insensitive, as well as being a direct and juvenile insult to the trans community.

HIDE IT
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I do not agree with the poster that made the comment, but I don't see how it is outside our community standards. If there is already a thread started about this post, post your concerns and disagreement in that thread, or as a reply to this post. Some members need education, not hidden post. Let's educate them. Again, I personally, do not believe anyone would come out as transgender for publicity or fame. There is too much raw emotion there for that.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Jenner needs to look beyond the glitz and material things.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alerter.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: We can do better than making snide comments about celebrity's anatomy. Try saying what you mean without crotch references.

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

Since I got the jury results almost immediately after submitting my vote, I have to think that I was the 4th "hide."
