Tarc, I felt your "lipstick on a pig" comment about a transexual was not just disgusting, but was a key example of why we needed a WM-LGBT user group to both highlight and gradually improve a hostile culture on Wikimedia projects that appeared to allow blatantly anti-LGBT attitudes and language on its projects under the guise of "being a joke" or "teasing".
Fæ, please don't refer to someone as "a transsexual"; it's objectifying and demeaning. Imagine someone calling you "a gay" - doesn't that just sound *wrong*? Adjective, not noun.
