"->-bleeped-<-" This pejorative is not up for debate

The original announcement that Q Cinema Fort Worth, Texas will premiere Ticked Off ->-bleeped-<-s with Knives" included this invitation to transgender people to watch the movie and then engage in dialogue

    "opening an avenue of discussion between ticked-off typists and the filmmakers and cast."

This is illustrative of the blatant gay transphobia and generic straight transbaiting and cyber bullying that transgender people are forced to endure.

After I complained to key sponsors of the Q Cinema a watered down version appeared containing a quote from the GLAAD call to action suggesting that GLAAD was the first and only organization ever opposed this movie.
