Blizzard, How About Allowing “Trans*” Diablo III Clan Names - Sensationalist Headlines

Omg this is like incredibly simple. People want the trans* tag so they can play with other players of the same tag!! that way they have other people with similar experiences with them and they don't have to worry about anyone giving them shit about their sexuality!!! why even mention their sexuality in games you ask? maybe people have parts of themselves that they don't want to hide in order to be considered socially normal!!! my lord you people. this would be an easy fix and it would help these people out, and not hurt anyone. this is clearly quite important to some people and is a rather arbitrary block, i don't get all the backlash no matter how the article is presented.

Most people would agree that the US school system is fucked, mostly because the staff adopted 'zero tolerance' laws as a band-aid for their legal inability to so much as come in physical contact with the students they're supposed to take care of, but if I wrote an article about it titled "How about we let grown men touch your children more?" I would deserve all the shit flung at me for it. [i]Especially[/i] from the people who would normally agree with my point, because I am doing nothing but hurting said point and muddying the issue.

It's worth noting that the writer of GenderTerror voiced concerns over the use of "ebony" from a dildo company. I can't dismiss the all of the complaints made on the blog, since some are legitimate, but I don't think that the writer makes an initiative to politely address the issue to the people involved.
