Wow, with the greatest of respect for an administrator of a discussion board this post is awfully inappropriate. Please note that you were the one that used the word "segregation" which has a very distinct and special meaning for those of us that live in and are aware of North American history. What Freddy refers to is far from "segregation" and is pointing out a flaw in the system so to speak that permits in an open forum the silencing of opinions and comments by "others". That is a point to be taken seriously and worthy of debate.
Secondly, Freddy emphasized in her post how much she owes to the male role models in her life. She makes the distinction between good and bad male and masculine role models. Again with respect, I have spent the last 48 years of my life becoming the best man I could be against all of the odds of being woman. Why is it, that members on this board think I have nothing to share about that process, when in fact that is exactly the process my brothers here are going through. All that with one exception, I have physical bits, that I consider rather irrelevant. I wish people would spend the time really reading what people have to say instead of storming forward on every perceived slight or insult. It is shameful and unworthy of a community that wants to be understanding of each other.
You say you are LGBT proud. There is nothing wrong having a discussion with those that have the same views as you for support and reinforcement. But in an open forum? You like it when someone says we want you to see what we say critically about you but we will not let you answer to the charge.
Also don't just call someone an idiot. Maybe you just did not understand what that person had to say. You will likely answer me but you did! Well, how can you take the chance? Calling someone an idiot is the subtlest from of murder.
