Among other things, she said, "@RuPaul I was never offended by your show. Not everybody has the same sense of humor. I openly think #yougotshemail is brilliant. Xoxoxoxo" And.... she ended up being attacked for it.

Okay, that is messed up. Sonique is right; it's a harmless little pun, and she of all people would know how hard it is to be a trans woman and how this show treats trans individuals (the answer being, "nicely"), since as mentioned she was the first to come out as such on the show. I'm livid that Sonique was attacked for being sensible.

And particularly since Porkchop is older and (I would think anyway) seems less hypersensitive to bullshit, I would like to hear her point of view as well.

I'm just glad people like Our Lady J and Sonique (and Pandora, from whom I actually found out about all this in the first place) are speaking up about how much crap this whole affair is. There are more than enough real problems in the world to worry about without needling our own people about nonsense.
