That picture is so disturbing on so many levels.
mplsbohemian - 2007-05-02: 11:01:00
Um, oy, that must have come off so transphobic. :\
About the picture... I have received a suggestion that this young lady's allegiances are less than clear, so I have prepared an alternative portrait. Please see: Being Clear About our Allegiances. Thanks ~ James

Chewytobacca? I wonder what JediJawa thinks of that?

Always love stirring up debate, but credit's due the artist. For some strange reason forgotten in a dream, I only ever thought of this definition applying to the male of the species...
