Without getting involved in the rights and wrongs of this, I just want to point out that I know paulberserker IRL, and he’s not homophobic in the least.
(sighs) Listen, I made the point you contradict yourself in the post where you say she made no reference to her sexuality. In your poll thread, Kaitlyn clearly states she’s a Lesbian. Then you tell me she made no reference whatsoever. Which is what i’m pitting, along with every post i’ve read she refers to her sexuality.
It’s all linked to in the OP. Seriously, it’s like firing fucking bullets into a brick wall with you people. READ. Or just go back to jumping on my use of ’ ’ s if you like, and simply repeating its a lame pitting yah yah yah.
I know it’s a lame point to make, but Ilsa_Lund is also a womans name, and he’s a man.
Look, I know Paul IRL also. Yes, he can be brash, stubborn, and sometimes goes the wrong way of making a point, but that’s just the way he is, and I wouldn’t expect him to change his personality just for these forums. I think this is the reason why alot of people pick him up the wrong way. I honestly don’t think he was using the quotation marks do denigrate her sexuality, more to back up his point of how it’s an emphasis in the majority of her posts.
I don’t necessarily agree with him, but I thought I would add my 2 cents into this mess.
chuckle This is almost too good to be true.
Go re-read that post. Read it carefully. It’s post #14. Go ahead, I’ll wait. No, actually, I’ll quote it for you:
Did I say she made no reference to her sexuality? No? Then you’re looking quite the fool right now, aren’t you?
And then, of course, there’s this bit:
Comedy gold.
Then howsabout ya take a good deep breath and explain exactly why you were using the quotation marks instead of jumping up and down like an angry lil monkey. You may even be able to collect some apologies.
If course, if it was just some pathetic stab then feel free to keep on truckin with the angry misunderstood monkey bit.
What **Twisty **said.
Then why the ’ '?
M to F transgendered lesbian. Confusing to me. ‘He?’ ‘She?’ ‘Ze?’ ‘whatever?’
But sorry I didn’t obviously bow down to the wishes of the enlightened. Fine to call people all the cunts under the Sun, but fuck forbid you should cast aspersions on someones gender.
All give yourselves a big pat on the back! Wankers.
I agree that she’s been talking about it a lot lately. Her SRS was a major, major change in her life, probably not unlike being married. Would you be as angry if a newlywed doper mentioned his/her recent wedding all the time?
If you really find her that annoying, put her on your ignore list and be done with it.
Actually, I’d wouldn’t be suprised if Paul’s answer to this was in the affirmative.
Paul, to use a Krusty the clown quote, is an “Angry, angry young man.” Just don’t confuse anger for hatred, of which there really isn’t an ounce of in him.
Harking back to what I said about Kaitlyn barging into the original thread, since it seems to have been a private joke between her and Priceguy, please allow me to retract my prior snarkiness. But you forgot the [private joke] tags [/pj]. 
Don’t stress. If she wants to be called she, it’s polite to call her she. Très simple, you’re doing it already, and everybody goes home happy.
It seems fair to point out that in this very thread, it’s been acknowledged that the laws of at least three states consider Kaitlyn male, which suggests that there is some objective support for the quotation marks.
That fact is sure to calm this thread down Bricker 
So if 6% of states call you something incorrect, then it’s ok? (I see your point, but it’s not a compelling argument and it doesn’t justify those actions.)
Three provinces and one territory don’t consider scott and jeremy evil married, but if you put scare-quotes around “married” or “husband,” there will be Words Spoken.
I am so sick of the argument, “Well, I know Doper So and So in real life, and he’s really nice!!!”
I don’t give a shit what someone is like in real life-it’s how they act HERE that matters. And if someone acts like a complete prick, I’m gonna call them on that.
Guin seems to think I’m obsessed with clothes because she’s made note of how often I post about them and how often I post to clothing threads. What you see doesn’t necessarily represent the whole picture. I’ve been posting to threads on comics, movies, clothing, femine hygiene, flirting threads, and relationships. I make note of the nature of my relationship when posting to a relationship thread because it is relevant there.
I make a lot of references to Mrs. Six, and I will continue to do so. People make casual references to their SO’s all the time in MPSIMS and IMHO.
You should call me “she”. You’re obviously aware that that’s what I prefer, so to say otherwise is disingenuous. “ze” is not an English language pronoun that I’m aware of, and “whatever” is insulting.
Point of information: I have not had SRS yet. It’s coming up in a few months. My legal status until I change it this summer remains male. Legal status is irrelevant to the issue of what it is polite to call me.
kaylasdad: Thanks for the clarification. That would indeed be fun.
Oh, Kaitlyn, please don’t think I’m saying all you talk about are clothes. I was just saying that I have a similiar interest-especially for vintage.
It’s ok. I was just trying to make the point that it’s easy to get a false impression if one isn’t seeing the whole picture. And I am obsessed with clothes. Mrs. Six calls me Kerri Bradshaw (whoever that is) with better taste in clothes.
