This makes sense. Thank you for the clarification work.
I don't see where MD stepped out of bounds in his description. A sensitive expression, actually. Personally, I would drop "Fruit Loop" all day long in casual conversation, given my sorry prejudiced ass. Taking a second to think fair, trans seems pretty ok.
I don't know how you can remove the basis for the bullying without some form of description, pavulon.
