Remember the whole Happy Tranny Day debacle? Well, they've put the name up for a vote.

While I'm not a big fan of ballot box stuffing, this is for a good cause - PUHLEEZE help them realize that's not an appropriate name?

I am not involved in the event for my own reasons.

Survey filled out. Voted Gender Euphoria and explained in the field that Happy Tranny Day was off-putting.

dont they realize calling it happy tranny day is like having a gay pride rally that uses the f word (which I wont type but you know what I mean)?

I swear there are some words that arent worth "taking back" as they put it.

They need to watch Clerks 2 to get a good example of that

They really do mean well, but the guys pushing for it have never been harmed by it. They're even proud of the fact that nobody's used it against them. It's kind of like straight people saying that they haven't ever been hurt by homophobia so why should we be so uppity and worry about it?

It reminds me of an Albany, NY newsletter Iwhich I was given a complete set of, when I was over there in 2006) called "Trannys in Love". The title was facetious, but no one'd know that unless they read it.

Vote posted. And I've spoken my piece on the choice of name, and how I've been treated when I voiced objection, several times already, I'm not going to get riled up about it again.
