Dear Ogi,

[rm]

I have fears, and none of them are you, or the exposure of what turns my crank or how I express myself. You don't even know me (and whatever it is you think I am, I am not), so how dare you call me and my tribe cowards and then take your ball and slink off home. There's really no greater insult, not just to the people you claim you were trying to engage, but to yourself. Generally speaking, I think shame is an ugly and useless emotion, and then things like this happen, and I realize I hope you have a lot of it, not because you deserve it, but because it's the only thing that would explain the viciousness and irrationality of your actions.

(What am I talking about? I'm talking about ogi_ogas's assertion that "'some deep sense of pleasure or satisfaction ultimately rooted in subcortical circuits' compels us to seek out slash/transsexuals despite fearing exposure to society at large." Context here: http://shaggirl.livejournal.com/190980.html)

*sigh*

I am a woman and I am a lesbian. My entire life is therefore already exposed to the public for its consumption, judgment, and titillation at my expense.
Oh yes. Beautifully said. The guy needs to own his kink and get over it. (except that slash-reading lesbians obviously don't exist!)
