Cynthia - and those things are deleted from this site.
The issues you mention are personal. You say "we've moved on to more important things". I'm sorry, I completely disagree. That is the reason why I highlighted the several threads that appear on the first page of this site. Those are important things, but they are not "MORE important things".
You say that "these things" are infinitely more important than removing the T from LGBT. Too whom? To you?
Your response is one of the reasons why I wrote my post. Your view is so self-centered. It's all about YOU. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. But it need not be at the expense of anything "other" ("other" to you). This IS an issue, and it should be talked about. You have effectively dismissed it, because it's not something that YOU need to talk about. And that, all said and done, is my issue.
I want to climb out of myself and talk to others who are willing to do the same. Get out of our comfort zone - address the issue, talk about it, not censor it based only on the reason that "I can't be bothered", or "it doesn't affect me".

I have to stop you there.
That is NOT MY suggestion. That is something that I have read.
