See Rue bob and weave. Bob and weave, Rue. Bob and weave.
C'mon, now. Is it prejudicial (to the person, or the minority, or both) to compare a person you don't like to a discriminated-against minority? You already said this applies to certain minorities, what about others equally oppressed?
Do you hate to give up your prejudices so much that you can't provide an honest answer?

Quote:I suppose one distinction is whether a person is in fact a faggot/bull dyke/ transexual. If someone is a transexual and you CALL them a transexual is that prejudice? Especially considering that the term "transexual" is neutral connotation? Or is it a simple statement of fact?
You said: "When someone tries to demean another person by invoking a shared bias - nigger, faggot, kike - it goes beyond personal and into prejudice." So apparently you think calling a person a nigger, faggot, or kike to demean them goes beyond personal insult and into prejudice against Blacks, homosexuals and Jews. I agree. How about demeaning a person by calling them a transsexual, or a bull dyke, or sexually outside the norm? Is it all right to express prejudice against these three groups, but not against the N/F/K-word troika?
In any case, my point remains that if Ann Coulter can call smeone a "faggot" and backtrack by saying it was a "joke" then we can call her Trannie Annie in the same spirit. And Geezer, if you think that FFF.net folks wouldn't sink to that level, what about "Shiny"Ed, whose posts are replete with such gems as ...
pompous & hypocrite
pretty-boy
retarded
pretty-boy
pretty-boy
vile bloodsucking tort-lawyer
pimps
juman beans (an insult to juman beans everywhere...)
Silky Pony (Auraptor) and...
hey if it takes maniacal & demented religious sub-humans from Islam to shake up Hollywood degenerates
which was immediately followed by YOUR post...
In a later update, Tehran has moved to sever all diplomatic relations with Sparta in response to their attack on peace-loving Persian invaders 2,487 years ago.
Where's the outrage, man? Where's the disappointment about sinking so low?
Oh yeah, that's right.. it was all meant in fun.
So was mine.

Rue,
It takes a lot, from my personal experience, before a man's appearance comes into play. And then it's usually the way he dresses. In other words, he has to be a total slob before snide remarks come out. For a woman, not wearing make-up is usually enough.
Oh, and before I forget...
Ann Coulter is paid by conservatives to preach hate and intolerance. Her message reaches millions.

I guess Geezer has no explanation for his selective disappointment in the quality of FFF.net postings.

Hi Soup,
I was thinking about that whole man-appearance thing ... people really comment on men's hair.
If you are a successful politician and have the misfortune of having a really full head of straight hair, if you part it to the side (like a normal person) people will say 'what is he trying to do, look like Jack (Kennedy)?' A la Condit, Edwards, and Kerry.
If you are financially successful and have a really bad comb-over people will say you're keeping live animals on your head.
And as you mentioned it's true that people do comment on attire - especially if you dress too 'metro'.

Oh, so you're Rue's alter ego.
Well, let's back up to your last: "In any case, my point remains that if Ann Coulter can call smeone a "faggot" and backtrack by saying it was a "joke" then we can call her Trannie Annie in the same spirit."
Sure, you got the right to insult Ms. Coulter by making demeaning comparisons with transexuals. Does sort of undercut your complaints about her actions if you do the same thing. Which has been my point from the beginning.

But you didn't answer my question. Why are you so selective about "Trannie Annie" comments but not about all the other bashing that went on? If you're going to tsk-tsk you may as well be fair about it. Right?
So from now on I expect to see you tsk-tsking over EVERY demeaning, prejudicial comment!
heh heh heh

Slick,
Some replies, comments and questions.
"See Rue bob and weave. Bob and weave, Rue. Bob and weave." I work and do my quick reads over lunch. Got a nice juicy sample just full of toxics to fill my days, too. What's your excuse? But "bob and weave" - that's SignyM's old phrase, not mine. And it's from years ago if I recall correctly. Musta hit a nerve, for you to remember it so long. 
So I checked out it out. The VERY FIRST mention of Coulter being a trans-X (-sexual, -gender, -vestite or whatnot) was PirateNews Tuesday, March 06, 2007 - 19:20.
The NEXT post on the topic was from you Slick, March 08, 2007 - 02:27 asking why 'multiple posters' call her a trans-X; and again Monday, March 12, 2007 - 14:23 asking about the trans-X 'schtick'. In fact, the only person who keeps doing that schtick would be you.
What's with that?

But is the point to focus in on only one aspect of the problem? The one aspect that allows us to not discuss the more pressing issue concerning one political party's institutional support and encouragement of hate speech and what it says about a subset of it's members that this tactic works?
Oh, and...

Hi Rue,
You're absolutely right about the hair. And the other side of appearance, if it looks like you spend too much time thinking about your appearance.
Something else to throw into the mix is smiling. I stumbled upon a discussion on a feminist group blog about irritation over stranger's telling women that they needed to smile. (* eta: Every woman had some story to relate of a man they didn't know coming up to them and making some comment about smiling, or not frowning, etc.)
