What Happened to Katie?

JazzGal said:
In all the discussions of late on transgender issues, I've been thinking often about a poster here whose original Jazzfanz name I cannot remember (real life name was John) who then became KatieMCR. Does anyone know if she still posts here or anything about her?

I had several private chats with her throughout the experience of coming to terms with her gender identity. As I knew nothing about it, I did a lot of research at the time to try to understand something outside my experience. I owe her a debt of gratitude for expanding my knowledge and understanding and compassion, and I hope her life has been wonderful and lived on her own terms.

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???

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.

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

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

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.

Honest question: Have people always been struggling to come to terms with their gender identity or is this a new phenomenon?

It does seem that they're addressing these issues more often in schools lately. I don't think it's a subject schools should get involved with. What do they have to teach the children about gender identity that their parents couldn't?

Okay I have a question. Why are we supposed to be so soft bleeding hearts that we can not talk about anything? You do realize the transgender community by and large does not like Jenner being the face of there people? Like, we can not make fun of akmed the terrorist w out offending Muslims? Go watch Jeff Dunhams video of performing in a Muslim country. They banned akmed so he created another and literally risked his life performing an akmed. The crowd went ecstatic with laughter. It is okay to have fun with humanity and are cultural characteristics. I agree w you that treating a person ill mannered is not right but I think this whole do not talk about it or joke on Jenner line is so over the top.

Marylin Mansons boobs were a marketing scheme. Hey [MENTION=68]KatieMCR[/MENTION] are you offended?
