He'd be barking up the wrong tree. I don't even think he'd be in the right forrest.

I don't get why you're so offended? People can tell she's a lesbian the same way they can tell Clarence Thomas is black.

So, this went from her being transgendered to her being a lesbian? I hope you realize that those aren't necessarily one and the same.

I'm offended that he's criticizing her for not being attractive. Like others have pointed out, no one criticizes the male appointees for their looks. He hasn't criticized her for being a lesbian, only for being masculine which doesn't make her a lesbian. Neither of those traits would make her any less qualified than her equally unattractive male peers. It's quite insulting to have a woman's qualifications for a positions completely ignored so that her looks can be addressed instead. As for being able to "tell" she's a lesbian, she looks just like half of the moms I know. I might be able to tell if she told me she liked women.

From what I can tell, you probably spend most of your day offended by the most minute circumstances.

Ha, you couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm pretty laidback. Luckily I don't encounter rednecks often.

Wow. Got a helluva prejudice streak in you.

I bet you're racist too, given your use of stereotypes.

Impressive.

Ha ha! That's funny. I grew up farther south than you and have known enough rednecks to spot one. Don't need to stereotype, I've read enough of your posts to know. If you don't want to be labeled, be more careful of what you put out on the internet. And no, I'm not a racist, though I sure know a lot of them from my days in the south.

I believe that would still be stereotyping.

If I don't want to be labeled, I'll stay away from those who are prejudiced and likely racist, like you.

You need to get out (no pun intended) more and expand your brain.

I tried that. I got jumped. Now I'm staying in.

My brain expanded too much, now it looks like a stretched out rubber band, never to again to attain its (shouldn't there there be an apostrophe at the end of it at least, like this: its', as opposed to it's) former elasticity.
