(8,028 posts)There's entirely too much lgbt discussion going on in the feminist group. If they have so much to say about lesbians and transexuals, they need to bring their concerns to the lgbt forum to be properly aired out. To do otherwise gives the impression that they're talking behind our backs about topics that they appear to be only guessing about.
That said, I feel that sera bellum was unfairly ts'd. Her comment about lgbtqwtflolbbq was a legitimate concern to her that deserved honest discussion but she should have used more sensitivity in bringing it up. Hidden was fair. Tombstoned was not.
It is my opinion that lgbtqwtflolbbq is a subject that would be better addressed in the lgbt forum. It is not an issue that has anything to do with feminists. There is not an f in the real alphabet menagerie that represents the gay community and to suggest that there is is to be disingenuous.
I spent several hours heatedly discussing this very topic with my best friend of 30 years, when Chaz was getting so much press a few months ago. To be honest, I was shocked that this dividing line still exists in the gay community, but it does. So, this its a genuine lgbt topic, and not one to be considered lightly.
I suspect that feldspar was a shit stirring troll and if so, got what they deserved. To suggest that male to female transsexuals are gynergy vampires was crass. There's no way that comment came from a member of the lgbt community, lesbian or otherwise.
If I'm mistaken and feldspar truly is a gay woman then I would suggest that her priorities are seriously skewed.
