The one thing that consistently rears it's head in this sort of thread is that people agree and disagree -- but there's hell to pay if you disagree.
Jasper manages to do something as old as Cadmus, with much the same effect. He tosses a rock or three into a mass of transsexing/transsexed women, crossdressers, genderqueers and assorted personalities who make their lives on the internet and creates a tumbling, rambling argument amongst those who say they disagree with him. All the while he stands and watches the mayhem and reaps the benefits of blog-hits.
Seems like he may just have it together, regardless of his views.
Good on Jasper. He's getting, as has been pointed out, exactly what he wants. Strangely, he's also managed to give his opponents what they wish as well: another chance to have a go at one another.
That never takes even as much effort as he's gone to though.
Finally, the arguments seem to matter more than anything else.
Someone wants to be stealth, HBS-political, HBS-biological, Genderqueer, active or passive? Then do so.
The one true thing about internet is that everyone can and does have an opinion.
To allow another's opinion to get that far inside one's own head as to make this roiling mass of anger and argument ... well, just seems sorta useless to a visitor who came to answer a PM.
Is all of this truly that important to anyone?
Yes, Dyss, my friend, for someone to qualify as having a disorder there is that niggly little matter of the effect on one's ability to negotiate one's daily life in a way that allows them to work, have some social interaction and to be able perform daily tasks. By those standards probably no one who's rendered an opinion on this thread has ever been truly badly disordered. At least, not yet.
