What Happened to Katie?

[Miggs]

Not sure if it was her original name, but before she was KatieMCR, I'm pretty sure she used a name that started with Jack.

She seemed to follow the local SLC music scene pretty closely and would often post about one or two of her favorite singers/bands.
I'm old and senile so I can't recall the specifics but the MCR part of her name was for one of her favorite bands.

My Chemical Response, maybe???

My Chemical Romance.

She was JohnDeereJerry if I remember right.

I regret how I treated her.

Were you that bad? Was I? Honestly, I felt a little bad and then franklin's detailed post about how she'd act rang true with me and I don't feel so bad.

It was pretty darn bad-- but he had the decency and integrity to apologize about it while she was still here. I remember he made an entire thread as an apology. So you should be proud of that, and it speaks to you that you're able to admit your past transgressions.

With that said (and i'm not saying this applies to you) but every time we make a potshot at Caitlyn Jenner for her gender, and we refer to her as he/she, we are continuing the discriminatory discourse that paralyzes the rights of transgender ppl. Out of respect to KatieMCR, we should refer to people using the pronouns that they themselves request. It doesn't matter if Caitlyn Jenner is a POS.

Why do you say this?

Oooooh! I remember that screen name!

Hey, if Caitlyn Jenner can't figure out if she's a he or she, then how the hell can I?

Did I not use the proper pronoun? I honestly don't know.

Given the direction of the thread, this was sort of messed up.

Dala set it up. It was a diss on Jenner thinking of switching back. Nothing to do with Katie.

Because ones opinion of someone doesn't mean you rob them of their ability to classify themselves as their gender of choice.

Making light of someone struggling to come to terms with what their gender identity is has very much pertinence with Katie. This probably wasn't the thread to make this joke, IMO.
