ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Transgender bigotry rears its ugly head. Claiming she is not a woman because she hasn't had to live with these fears is crap.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jun 16, 2015, 03:46 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Transgender bigotry"?? Sorry I don't get it either. A boy with a penis can call himself a girl, but a white woman cannot call herself a black woman? It's a very confusing time. I realize I'm in the minority here, but I say let it stay.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Transphobic nonsense.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see this as bigotry, and I think it's a discussion that needs to take place. For example, if Bruce can self identify as Caitlyn, why cannot Rachel Dolezal self identify as African American? Ilsa's point is not unreasonable: Bruce Jenner has led most of adult life as a famous white male athlete. I think the post should stand.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
