This makes me absolutely appalled. APPALLED. Basically, DeviantArt has removed their option for identifying as neither male nor female when you sign up (for ad revenue reasons, most likely, because as we all know all women like the same things as do men!!11!), and is incredibly dismissive, transphobic and rude in responses. Urgh.

I... do not even know what to say about that deviant art thing. I pretty much just gaped through reading the thing because wow, that is seriously disgusting. And that "hermaphrodite" remark, it's like they're playing some sort of insult and belittle as many people as you can game.

Funnily enough, I listened to The Jared Padalecki Untitled Project podfic the other night and I totally stayed up way too late listening to it also.

this is a great post. i hate it when sites force you to pick a gender, and i dislike the kind of meme you've described for the same reasons. so A+ <3

omg that fic is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVES. it's one of the very first i read after joining spn fandom, and i often re-read it. soooo good.
