Hmmm...I haven't ventured in to that thread, but I'll take your word for it.
Every now and then I'll think of a member that used to be around often back in what I consider my Shroomery "hay day" and it makes me kind of sad they're not around anymore. This was one of those instances. I'm glad to know he's still around, regardless.  IfoundWaldo is another one that immediately comes to mind

I've also had the same avatar since '07
This happens like every time I post. Serves me right for being open. I reported somebody for calling me a tranny the other day and Enlil PM'ed me that I don't get to decide what is considered offensive.

In fairness, I think a lot of people don't realize that "tranny" is a derogatory word. I used to use it, thinking it was a kind, friendly diminutive version of "transsexual". It seemed to me like how you'd call your friend Jonathan "Jonny" or something. But Rose explained to me that that is not the case and so I forever stopped using it.
But maybe you could have explained it to the person who posted it. There's a real good chance that they just didnt know.

That said, it does seem like the guy who used it in this thread is trying to be a jackass in an attempt to tie your gender stuff into your want of freedom to change avatars. Which really makes no sense to me either.

It's not just that "tranny" is a slur but that I literally can't post on any subject without somebody relating everything I say back to that. I feel like a fucking zoo animal here. I wish I wasn't so addicted to this forum.

Good thing we can change our screen names and avatars, right? I think it was luvdemshrooms who pointed out how fantastic those features are.

I didn't know tranny was a bad word. Has it always been that way or is it a new thing? Because I can remember clearly tranny being said on tv. Times change and some words are offensive this year that were not last year, I must have missed that town hall meeting.
I sincerly apologize if I offended you, I don't want anyone to feel like a zoo animal.

Yeah, but people would find out and it'd start all over again. Makes me want to just make a new account and pose as a new user. Been seriously considering this. But it's also tough because I have this dumb impulse to try and enlighten anybody I see saying ignorant shit. It's like a thing.

"Tranny" is super offensive to trans people, but cross dressers think it's "their word" even though it is never used to target or stigmatize them. It's complicated.
But it's also rude to be constantly bringing it up without a damn good reason. I don't like my identity and daily life being constantly used as a punchline and I don't like having everything I say being interpreted through that lens. Y'dig? I know I've been talking about it a lot recently but that's becase it is currently a hot topic in popular culture with Caitlyn Jenner and now this stupid Rachel Dolezal thing (which really shouldn't even be seen as related but, apparently people are fucking stupid). I'm just joining these conversations which are already happening. But it should ultimately be my prerogative to bring it up in relation to myself, not anybody else's.

Good on you, SupaChopper, for what seemed like a genuine apology.

I wish more people could admit a wrongdoing (big or small) and learn from it.
