I did not respond to any of Hunter's questions because I tend to try and give some thought to my feelings and responses now. During this time of mulling over that Hunter did post these questions, I did notice the Hunter has not come back to this thread and responded to any of the posts in response to her intitial post, questions.
My question to you Hunter, is where are your responses, comments to all of the people that took the time to respond to your questions?

Personally, on the surface, I don't think the questions were rude.
If it had been a butch or femme lesbian who had never been around transpeople before and then came upon the Planet, I think that they are not surprising questions.
There are people out there who live in small communities and do not have contacts with a diverse group of people. Since the person admitted to being ignorant of information and said they were not meaning to be disrespectful, I took them at their word.
It is a shame that it may be a person who was really trying to just be a jerk. It really sets members up to not be so trusting in the future, ya know?
Greyson, I think this person has not returned b/c she has been "found out".
Oh well. Sad.
