"borderline reverse discrimination"

Beg pardon, but I feel the need to correct you.  There is no such thing as "reverse discrimination", just as there is no such thing as "reverse racism" or "reverse sexism".  Racism, sexism and discrimination have no reverse, as they are all the same but to varying degrees.  I berate you for using the term since it's so commonly used, but I just needed to bring this up.

"...empower yourself by growing a thick skin, not by keeping the words alive."

FUCKING YES!  It's good to see the rare sight of someone of the LGBT with some common sense (I only know of one other person who thinks like this, although I'm sure more exist considering I've had LGBT people come onto my deviations saying how much they hate things like pride parades).

I don't think she changed it.  I think the other name is just her troll account or something.

Yeah, I heard that argument before. It is pretty asinine when you think about it. I mean, discrimination is discrimination, after all. Sadly however, when that is the term that gets shoved in your face in the most PC of college classes, it kind of sticks and sometimes you never notice it.

That is because we teach our generation to victimize themselves as opposed to toughening up. Quite sad really.

I'm actually glad you ignored the last sentence of the first paragraph in my reply, because I accidentally said, "I berate you for using the term since it's so commonly used, but I just needed to bring this up" when I meant to say that I won't. XD

Indeed.  x-x

To be honest, I think I somehow read it as the latter the first time around so You are cool. I knew what you meant.
