THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION AND IS NOT MEANT TO BE PRESENTED AS INCONTROVERTIBLE FACT.

I appreciate your insight on this, Jecilyn. And I can assure you that I'm not laughing about any of this. I used "him/her" and "he/she" as a way of being gender neutral since referring to this person simply as "he" and "him" caused such an uproar. But it would appear that trying to refer to this person in a gender neutral way isn't okay either.

Anyway, I give up on this. The small point I was trying to make in the beginning about deception is definitely not worth the nightmare this thread has become. Practically everything I say is being construed as something offensive, bigoted, etc., even though I point out over and over that I have nothing against transgendered people and that my beef is with people who deceive others for personal gain.
