I'm sorry, but... WHAT?

The "long tail" of previous posts on this blog is a pretty quiet place, but once in a while someone will see fit to comment on an ancient post, normally unnoticed by anyone but me when I get the email notification. I read them all (of course) but don't usually feel the need to expose the comment to the glare of publicity at the sharp-end of the blog.

Except today, when I got this gem:
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Keep Transvestism for Transvestites!":

I think transvestites should stick to LBGT venues only, really concerns me that men in frocks are out in the public in women only spaces. I could understand years ago there was no places to go but now loads. Transexuals dont want to be confussed with Tranvestites by the public if read!!! I think transvesites should be banned from the public , i have more enough reasons that I dont want to give details on . I want a safe world for all women and transexual women !!
It's been a while since I frequented the tranny forums, so I don't come across this kind of fuckwittery very often, so it was actually quite nice to see a good old-fashioned bit of bonkers-in-the-nut holier-than-thou-TS bigotry.

Unless it's a parody, like the piece being commented on. In which case, well done you, anonymous. You even managed to get the double exclamation point at the end like a true mentalist. I doff my hat to you.

Blogger Joanna  Given some of the threads I've had to quash on the Angels in the past year I am pretty sure it's not a parody. 
OpenID oyebilly  I'd love to know what the reasons are that they don't want to give details on. 
Blogger Ellie Cartwright  Mm. I'd like to hear them too.

"Tranvestites should be banned from public."

Even when not in female attire? 
Blogger steph_angel  'I want a safe world for all women and transexual women !!'

While the truly evil tranny wants World domination and God forbid anyone who should get in their way :-/

I used to get these kind of comments ages ago and for a laugh I used to exchange emails with said fuckwitty... I never really got anywhere though... 
Anonymous Kristina Roberts  "...years ago there was no places to go but now loads."

Every where you turn there's another tranny venue. Starbucks, McDonalds, Bank, Tranny Venue, Starbucks, McDonalds... 
Blogger Andrea S  I want a safe world for all women and transexual women !!

I'd love to know how banning transvestites from going out in public would achieve this? Would it be okay if they all promised not to go out unless wearing jeans? ;-) 
Blogger Calie  "Fuckwittery"

A new word and I just so can't wait to use it! And it is in the Urban Dictionary. I mean, am I totally out of it or did said term not yet make it to California? 
Blogger Stephanie Watson  I quite agree with MS Anonymous. Except she doesn't go far enough. When I'm read it's not just as a transvestite, sometimes it's as a man. So, ban all men from public spaces. That would solve my passing problems in one stroke. 
Blogger Becky  Can always rely on you to speak for the Sensible TS sorority, Stephanie. ;-)

Of course what the writer doesn't seem to appreciate is the new danger for TSs after the policy was introduced would be being mistaken for an escaped transvestite, rounded up in a net and dumped in one of the TV detention camps. 
Blogger Jenny Harvey  I think its these peddlars of such fuckwittery should be banned from all public places lest they get mistakenly read as a fully functioning members of the human race. 
Blogger Lynn Jones  I want a safe world for all women and transexual women !!

Does that imply that there's an unsafe world were men can go and indulge in dangerous macho activities? BASE jumping, paint balling, rugby, shopping in heels: those kinda things? :)

> fuckwittery

LOL 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  Such blatant discrimination!

What about these female transvestites pretending to be men by wearing trousers, thinking, and stepping out of the kitchen? 
Anonymous Jessica Sideways  As a transwoman, I want to say that I do have bigotries against transvestites, but unlike most TS people, I admit that this is an issue and one that needs to be rectified IMMEDIATELY! I want to drop all my bigotries against TVs and I hope that I will get to do that in therapy.

Seriously, we all queer gender in one way or another and who has the right to judge? 
Anonymous Paula  Shit happens. It's just the usual internetitus. A quick click of the mouse that fails to give you the chance to not post your message that a walk to the postbox did in the old days before the web.

CRAP!!! did I just publish my comment?? 
Anonymous Jayne  Another trans woman here to add my pennyworth to this debate. I transitioned under the guidance of my transvestite boyfriend and I agree, lock them up. Sicko that he was, he put blue eye shadow on me! You just have to love the internet loonies, they make us realise just how sane the rest of if us are. 
Blogger LucyTolliday  Too good to be a parody. I suddenly feel less of a looney.

Is there an exam people have to pass before they are allowed out?

Or t-girls can only wear jeans and a t-shirt.

I'm sure I'm right in saying many ts initially consider themselves tv who go out make mistakes and gradually get better in many cases becomeing the perfectly formed ts. 
Anonymous Jessica Sideways  Eww, jeans and a t-shirt! Say it ain't so LucyTolliday!
