Bingo! RaceFail, LGBTQFail & Misogyny all in one small act of fannish cluelessness

[rm]

A few clueless slashers fetishize real queer people while throwing in fun sides of racism and misogyny:

I... uh... ugh.

And granted, being trans I tend to be oversensitive to these things, but when the OP used the term "GLBT relationships," I just wanted to reach through my monitor and whack her upside the head. Seriously. The proper term is "same-sex" when referring to relationships. Nobody cares if a bi person happens to have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. And WTF is a trans relationship? Trans people come in straight, bi, and gay varieties as well, and some of them have same-sex relationshps.

Of course, the OP was just being a douchebag and giving absolutely no thought to what she (and I just hurt my brain looking at her info page to verify her gender, ouch) was posting, which is the enormous problem -- the complete unwillingness to question any of her own attitudes.
