Yeah, and my point is that you're completely simplifying why Lira posted that link, almost as though you want to paint him as some sort of simplistic bigot. Which would be about par for the course. I've argued with you many times about issues completely unrelated to this, and I know perfectly well you never miss an opportunity to paint the other party as bigoted, usually falsely, and then rant self-righteously, to the point now where you do it as a sort of self-parody. Which, incidentally, doesn't absolve you.
Lira clearly knows this too, because he's a very patient guy who's never lost it no matter how abrasive I've been with him, and for him to blow up like this clearly means you've pissed him off. It's the way you insist on getting bleeding-heart ultra-liberal at every opportunity, and the inference he isn't interested in the personal stories of everyone in the transgender community just because he posts one link (in the pictures thread) focusing on the purely physical/visual side of a transformation.
It's your general behaviour in every debate on every issue that leads people to think of you as a brat.
Oh, and hateful and alienating attitudes and behaviour towards a group based on generalised and stereotypical assumptions born of insecurity is bigotry. There is no good reason for it.
