Tarc, I felt your "lipstick on a pig" comment about a transexual was

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.
