How many in this thread, (or on vgchartz in general), really "hate" transgender people? Barely anyone? And those people are just stupid in general, anyways? Okay, good.
Why is there such a giant need for transgenders to wave this huge flag around with the words "WATCH OUT PEOPLE, I'M TRANSGENDER! LOOK HERE, LOOK! RESPECT ME FOR WHO I AM!! I AM SOOOO DIFFERENT!!"
*sigh*
You're people. Just like the rest of us. Do you see any of us waving around flags? No? Then why should you do it?
Stop making such a big deal out of it. Its not! You're creating problems where there were none... Just stop it...
Saying this is about human rights is bullshit.

You created that anger and hate with your bad OP. Congratulations...?
If you had presented this differently, then there'd be like (magic prediction-power) 30 posts total, 27 would agree with you, and 3 would be neutral.

I like this post. It's true trans-gender people get discriminated against quite a bit, but bringing up a non-issue as a so called discriminatory act against them? Doesn't help their cause.

Both of you are pretty much showing your privilege in not seeing how this could be an issue for some. How else are you going to know if something is an issue untill someone brings it to your attention? But if anything this thread has put to light a lot of ignorance towards trans issues that is on this site. Which to me, again, has to do with confusion to what gender and sex mean and how they differ.
To be fair though the OP does make assumptions about this site because of the lack of a feature. I am pretty sure it wasn't put in place to purposefully discriminate against transgendered persons.
