Imagine a conservative "Christian" organization using the other f-word to describe gay men. No "reputable" religious right organization would use that term to describe gay men these days -- they know the focus they would receive on using that kind of expressed hate speech would be blistering, and define their particular organization as pariah organization among the civil, political classes.

And yet, the conservative "Christian" organization that originally dreamed up the '30 Sexual Orientations' [an idea that the website of Republicans in Congress picked up for their Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 webpage (when that webpage linked to a webpage that listed DSM-IV codes on Sexual and gender identity disorder)] thinks nothing of frequently and repeatedly using the pejorative she-male in their webpages.
