Oh my gosh, it's not flippin' funny. OKAY? In fact it's downright offensive to many people on here. I'm writing this in response to this evening's diary about Ann Coulter being on Lou Dobb's show
As with every other Ann Coulter diary, a few people thought referring to her as Ann the Man or as dAnn is funny. And now it's time to say ENOUGH!
My first reaction to this is to HR the little bugger. But Rserven, a transsexual, and a rather wise member of our community said this in response to one of the jokes:
I fail to see how anyone could not think... (1+ / 0-)

...accusing her of being a tranny is not a slam at transwomen. Is our identity just a weapon to be used as others? How much respect does that accord us?
And I have the recurring question. Now, 16 years after I transitioned, do eople still think I am a man also?
There are a multitude of things about Coulter that are wrong. Being like me is not one of them.

She's right. And we all know it. It needs to stop.
And I am NOT defending Ann Coulter. Besides, we can slam her for being an evil, doodiehead, left-wing hating, crude, and lame beastie. We have plenty to bring her down with. Why use the man jokes anyway?
Here's another great comment by Rserven:
We have members here who went to school with her.
Her grade school photo was posted here, which I thought was over the line, but it was. Her high school photo was also poster. Her college photo was been posted.
When do you think she had sex change surgery? How do you think it is that nobody has ever claimed the money no doubt available from one of the gossip rags with proof?
I'm a transsexual woman. I do have an adam's apple because I am a teacher and throat surgery could endanger my living. But my adam's apple is not as large as Sandra Bullocks.
So what's your point? All humans have adam's apples. It is not a sex organ.
As a transsexual woman, I can assure you that tying to bring her down by claiming that she is like me is terribly offensive to me.

So, let's stop with this stupidity and foul humor and not insult other members of this community when bashing Ann. K?
Oh and I almost forgot. Let's give some Rserven some love. I believe mojo is order:
