How disingenuous. And to think that this post got kudos from CL. Sigh. I expected better than that from you CL!
You are well aware that words such as "homophobic" and "transphobic" mean more than simply "phobic of homosexuals" or "phobic of transgender people."
Next you'll be saying you can say the most bigoted things about homosexuals and that doesn't make you homophobic.

Yes... I'm referring to the thread title. Not only did you refer to Tiffany as a man but you just now put Tiffany in scare quotes as if they're not really Tiffany because, to you, they're really a man.
You're clearly transphobic.
I think you'e homophobic as well because I made a homosexual joke about Jesus once and you found that offensive... if Jesus were gay would that be a problem?

From now on you will refer to me as "His Majesty". You are bigot if you do not to affirm my self-identification as royalty by addressing me in my preferred manner. Failure to do so will result in you being barred from earning a livelihood or practicing your chosen profession.
Disgusting misrepresentation of transgender issues.
Calling transwomen men is transphobic because it means you don't consider them "real women". So you are clearly extremely ignorant and bigoted about transgenderism.
There's absolutely no reason to call someone "His Majesty" just because they say so. There is a reason to call a transwoman a woman: It's because they're a woman and suggesting that they're not really a woman is thunderously bigoted. It's as if you care about genitals more than transgender issues.

None of which has anything to do with your use of the term "virtue-signalling."
And, a better analogy for you would be for me to call you by female pronouns. Which I will do from now on.
Don't forget to tell him that if he is a man he's certainly not a "real man".

Suit yourself. Otherwise, don't think I didn't notice how you think you dismiss an entire post because you object to my use of the term virtue-signalling. As far as that goes you didn't even provide justification for believing I used the term wrong.
Your post is just a bigoted rant, with a total failure to justify said bigotry, that starts by disingenuously pretending that words such as "transphobia" and "homophobia" refer merely to people who are afraid of transgender people and homosexuals. Epic fail.
Here's Google's definition of the word "transphobia":
"dislike of or prejudice against transsexual or transgender people."
Note the bold. That's you, asshole.

Exactly why he's a bigot and exactly why his thread title did violate the prime directive. If the thread title had been both grossly untrue and racist or homophobic my report would have been taken more seriously. You can't escape the clear violation of the prime directive by side-stepping it with the idea that he was probably referring to Tiffany's biological sex... because it was extremely clear that he was saying that Tiffany isn't a female in any sense at all. Referring to Tiffany, who is clearly female, as "man" and going on a transphobic rant about her clearly falls under breaking this part of the rule of The Prime Directive: "Posts which are comprised of outrageous misrepresentations of events within the public record will be considered as trolling." Whether a transwoman is really a woman is no more worth discussing than whether a black person is really human or a gay person's homosexuality is really natural. These are all non-issues that are only brought up by total bigots and go against all facts.
If it had instead been a clearly false fact about a black person and the thread title contained the N word or "faggot" then my report would have succeeded. Despite the fact that this is no different. Even the most otherwise progressive people who are anti all bigotry completely miss the point on transgender issues.
