Post 159442 by rainydayfilms deleted for the following reason: We had a hell of an angry, painful, vituperative thread about this previously that devoured a whole lot of moderation time and membership good will, and I'm not seeing a very good reason to have a repeat of the exact same thing again.

Post 159356 by Conspire deleted for the following reason: Heya, this is an interesting read, but I think it's going to be enormously difficult to have a general audience discussion about it that doesn't leave basically everybody involved unhappy with how it goes. -- cortex

Post 159145 by Joseph Gurl deleted for the following reason: Hey, the situation they've documented here is truly awful, but not necessarily going to make a great thread for Mefi. We've had requests to cut down on posts about "here's how awful being trans is," and this is well in that territory. -- LobsterMitten
