::Garbage. Is it my so-called 'prurience' that is the problem, or your self-righteous prudery? The article is MORE factual after my edit. The previous version made the one-sided implication that ALL transsexuals have a problem with the word shemale. This is not true, as many have no issues with it. My edit also stated the reasons many transgendered and transsexual women have no problem with such words. As for "As with many words, it can be used in a pejorative fashion" .. this is simply the truth. Not everyone considers "shemale" or "chick with dick" to be an insult. Deal with it.
