Concerning MSN.com's low view of transsexuals...
At first I thought the search engine was just being stupid and showing the warning for any search word that included "sex" in it (which "transsexual" does, after all). But that's not true: "intersexed" and "bisexual" are acceptable.
But then, along the lines of this observation:
Get this--even such "extreme" subject/content as"bondage/discipline" and "sadomasochism" are not affected, yet "transsexual" is...
I tried "pedophile" as a search word. That one was fine.
So, folks, it appears we rank below pedophiles in the eyes of MSN.com
P.S. Though it's understandably of little comfort to all you beautiful TS souls out there, at least "transgendered" doesn't produce a warning...
