| One hundred percent agreed that this is ridiculous. Also despicable. Probably the doing of some right wing, pro-Trump group. Attempting to vilify someone for using the word "tranny" back in the day, when it was not remotely considered offensive by anyone, is equivalent to vilifying someone for using the phrase "colored people" 50 or 60 years ago, when the term was considered the preferred one in referring to that group of people, to the point where the acronym NAACP stood for -- and still to this day stands for -- "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." And, to keep that point theater related, I would cite "for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf." |
