Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaExcept for the hormone treatments, which can potentially really fuck both mother and child over.  That's a distinct worry for both.

From what I found, (s)he stopped the hormones so she could get pregnant.  And I think if you showed most people these photos, they would be a lot less surprised by the pregnancy.

Quote from: NiallSNo, it was his choiuce of all the words, imagery and the phrasing together with his "I'm no bigot but . . ." disclaimer. Plus his use of the word hate I suppose.

Wow, you're asinine dude.  Seriously.

Quote from: Jackalope;194510Has anyone caught the news coverage of this pregnant man story?  I seriously don't get this shit.

Okay, so I get that this Thomas Beatty person is a woman who is living like a man, because that is her bag or whatever...but seriously, she got pregnant...how exactly is that living like a man?  I mean, it makes me want to track her down and say "Hey, hey you, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.  Guys don't get pregnant."

Shit like this makes me seriously hate modern feminists and political correctness.  I mean, I've got no hate for transgendered people.  It's no sweat off my brow.  I don't think they should be discriminated against or anything.

But at the same time, a transgendered man (meaning a man who was born a woman) who gets pregnant is like...man, s/he ain't making it easy to buy that s/he is a man, is s/he?  And people act like it's amazing that a man is pregnant...except, the only amazing part is that people actually think that the average person is going to buy that this Tom dude is really a dude.  I mean, there's nothing amazing about this when you realize that Tom isn't actually a man, she's a woman who cut her tits off and doped herself up with hormones.  Tom there is kind of proof that sticking feathers up your ass and clucking doesn't make you a rooster.

But like, somehow if you point that out, you're like a hater, or intolerant, or what the fuck ever.  It's a real head-scratcher.  And listening to the media coverage, everyone is just sort of skirting around the huge elephant in the room, trying to not mention the rather obvious fact: a pregnant man is an impossible thing, and Tom ain't a pregnant man, Tom is a pregnant chick with some very odd issues.


At RPG.net I think you'd have been banned one day for every line in your post suggesting someone isn't whatever gender or feather-duster-created rooster they say they are. They're not real big on objective truth and reality when it comes to gender politics.
