I'd like to say I'm not prejudiced. But that would be a lie. If I'm being completely honest, I have to admit I'm a bit put off by trans-gendered people.

I realize, intellectually, that this is irrational and horribly unfair. I'm disappointed in myself for feeling this way. However, pretending I don't won't fix the problem, either. All I can do is be aware of it and work on being a better person.

bbt, one of the biggest things I can recommend is talk to your local VO. One of our jobs is to help maintain a good community of gamers, and that's making sure that everyone feels welcome. If you're feeling uncomfortable, then your VO needs to know. If you feel uncomfortable talking to your VO about this, then ask someone you trust to talk to your VO for you. They can be your biggest ally in helping to make the community into a more diverse place.

Despite what some may tell you on the internet, this is not entirely in your head. Don't feel bad for starting this thread - your concerns deserve to be voiced.

Go ahead and ignore my comments. Hold high to the belief you are moral superiority, and that someone pointing out your bad behavior is nothing more then them misunderstanding of you privileged position. Feel comfort in your hate of others.

For that is what you are doing. Hating on people you never met in the name of moral superiority.
