to be honest, names are names. Im pretty sure no one could say anything to me that the words alone would make me hit them. You just have to have some self control. Im certainly not going to risk either getting aknife pulled on me or doing 6 months inside for ABH cos someone calls my girlfriend a slag or whatever.
And as for this whole transexual thing... I really dont feel its thats hard to tell what gender someone is. And if it went down like it went down, in what sense is physical violence a justified? Is it natural to feel such a horror of a different type of sexuality that having a man touch you in that way, when you consented (under a false understanding perhaps) to it - that you want to damge them so badly? Is not to want to inflict harm on someone else because YOU feel bad a deviation from a normal personaility.
When we are children we lash out when we are hurt, as adults it is hoped that we learn restraint.
If I was in the situation of having "by accident" had sexual relations with a man, I probably would feel bad about it and betrayed, and it would be confusing... but the dude in question obviously would be someone who had a lot of issues and confusion about himself... why the hell would anyone want to beat him up?
