You are a transphobic bigot. I hope you get banned before reaching double digits in posts.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4168395

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This is unnecessary. Via jury, community standards were upheld. The poster is unhappy with the jury results, so has resorted to a personal attack.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Dec 12, 2013, 01:40 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: insulting, over-the-top comment - time to stop these insults - they seem to be on the increase
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: lol, looks like name removed got in an alert before he got banned... Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I feel obligated to leave a comment, but what I have to say never gets heard. Okay, I'll try. There are far better ways to debate than with unsubstantiated personal attacks. Whether or not someone has 5 posts or 50,000 makes them no less or more a member of our community.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

Note that "name removed" only got as high as 3 posts, so at least my wish came true. Note that the alerter seems to agree with the transphobic bigotry.
