Sir, you live in a sad, sad world. Happily, other people interpret it differently.
explicit:
I think the world's pretty nice... And people have tried murdering me (that's not hyperbole), so I think that gives a bit of weight to my opinion...
Thinking the world is already a bad place is no excuse for acting like a dick.

No, you do not have that right in the context of a privately run forum: http://xkcd.com/1357/
Also, there are other interpretations of that scene. We don't know which one's correct, there are ways for any interpretation to actually fit, it's incredibly rude to speculate (and hurtful to trans people that have a lot of shit to deal with), speculation is not allowed here, and Jeph will never say what her status in that regard is.

It's generally acceped practice to I dunno, *read* the FAQs and rules, and abide by them. It's you're complaining about visiting another country, after being *given* a list of important rules and cultural considerations, then complaining when the local coppers take you in after you've broken them.
Administrator Comment Thank you, well put. But it's more like having the locals put you on a plane back home.

Rights are granted by the powerful to themselves and to the powerless. They don't exist as an objective thing. Of course I'm willing to be "shown the door" for what I say in place of honest disagreement and discussion. Doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that the powerful will initiate force against the powerless if the powerless say something uncomfortable and upsetting, regardless of whether there might be something worth talking about in it.
