There was a thread about that already...think ACrowbar may have created it originally.
Edit: Nvm, that just descended into more religious crap.....

Lol. Ben Bailey: An alternative to permanent tattoos, what plant dye, popular in India, is used for temporary body art?
Contestant: I know this!
Ben Bailey: You do?
Contestant: Hentai!
Ben Bailey: ... (aside glance)
Ben Bailey: ... The correct answer was henna.

I wouldn't. I think that it would start as a well-intentioned thread to answer the questions of people who have a genuine curiosity, and I think that the biggest tool to fighting hate and ignorance is information and familiarity. However, I think it would quickly be taken over by people who don't care who you are and don't want to care to learn anything about what it means to be transgender- they just want to tell you that they disagree with you, and why, and generally be unpleasant.

I choose to respect people's wishes to be called with whatever pronoun they think fits them.
I'd like to be called with the pronoun "that awesome green Squishy mod" instead of 'him/her'.
Ok, now really running.
That's not a pronoun -___-

I don't mind calling anyone whatever they want to be called. If someone insists they are a horse in a womans body, and they want me to call them a horse, fine, I'll call them a horse. I doubt they sprout hooves, though.

That might be more effective- especially since, I believe, you can block people who start to flame. I'm sure there are people who are definitely interested in learning about it, and it's great that you'd be willing to open up and talk about it to them.

For added thought: If someone has hooves sewn on, does it make them a horse?

I read a book once, a very long time ago, where one species was unisexual, and they called them "idre" and "idreself". Or something like that. If Squish would like something unique to him, even in pronoun form, we could do it.
Maybe "Sque" instead of he, "Sqis" instead of his, "Squimself" in stead of himself, etc.

Patty, I had two ice cream cones earlier, and probably got a little out of hand. I apologize. It was out of place for me to mock you. Allow me to more appropriate articulate my issue here. If you don't feel like responding, that's fine. I just feel you deserve a respectful appraisal.Nice response. It was the fact that it was Fox news (yet again) posting articles with very little factual basis to them. If that was the case with other articles, the same applies.I went back and reread the article. The article cites these sources:
Criminal complaint unsealed in federal court
Attorney General Eric Holder
A spokesman for Iran mission to UN (via Reuters)
Government of Saudi Arabia (Israel referred questions to the FBI)
Arbabsiar (confessor)
Secretary of State Clinton
The AP
Interpol
and a DoD senior official
Again, forgive me for being harsh on you earlier, however it seems that you are again dismissing the article as having "very little factual basis", when there is overwhelming evidence of the plot, as well as a willing confession from one of the participants. Not only that, but there is also corroborated evidence from foreign governments, such as Mexico, and across numerous agencies within and without the US (interpol, dea, fbi, etc). It seems irresponsible to dismiss this as a mere fabrication, or as Fox news shenanigans. Is it possible, that due to yours and others more liberal biases, and fox news' more conservative biases, you are more likely to be dismissive of it and notice its mistakes, but more forgiving of news organizations that compliment your particular beliefs? Further, isn't it more likely that Fox news is going to be focused on by other media, for the same reason (Jon Stewart, Colbert, Family Guy, etc), their own biases?
