Whats with the transphobia and the defense of transphobia on du today?

16. The poster in question will out and out tell you they will post whatever they want

no matter how politely you try to ask them to stop. I've experienced that myself in the past with the poster in question.

Also, the repeated references to "pearl clutching" goes back to the Rick Warren fiasco. There was a lot of complaining ABOUT the GLBT community on DU when we mentioned he was anti-gay and that we didn't like the fact he was doing the invocation at President Obama's swearing in ceremony. They said we were "pearl clutching" then. I don't think a lot of people actually know the history of that phrase on DU, but I would not doubt the poster in question knows EXACTLY what they are doing when they constantly use that phrase in reference to the GLBT community on DU. They only ever use that phrase WHEN talking about us. Mods used to delete posts with that phrase used against us that way. Now, it's up to juries, who might not remember that history. I'm not sure alerting it would even work.

At least in here, we can have some freedom from that phrase being used against us. On the rest of DU, I'm not sure what we can do about it.
