Well... that's pretty intense. Of course, if you're from Klan country, anything's possible. Some people just have to hate somebody...

I disagree that things are THAT BAD for members of the transgendered community... or, at least I certainly hope not.

To a great extent, I smoke Mistys because I really like the pretty girls in the Misty ads and smoking Mistys makes me feel closer to them.

Although I agree some people just have to have everything their way... just as some people just have to have a complete nonsmoking world... To them, 'there's only one way to play it...'... and nonsmoking is the only way to play it.

However, I enjoy smoking... so, I smoke. And I like Misty... so I smoke Misty. If I were trying, at least on balance, to make the greatest number of people happy with me and everything I did, I almost certainly wouldn't smoke at all.

So... I guess I'm saying that, IMHO, you're coming on a little too strong. Sure, some people are jerks... whether in regards to smoking or crossdressing... but, there are some people who are more open-minded also.

I think 'hate' is really a strong word... unless you're talking about hate groups and people who hate as a way of life.
