text: My freedom of speech is held captive.  Its all about what is supposedly "politically correct", and "semantics".   As The Unknown Commenter perfectly  stated, "No one is touching this because current politically correct climate favors the transgendered as being at the top of the pecking order, the most protected class of individual above lesbians and gays, blacks, undocumented latinos and women in that order.   Ex:   On the farm,  a "Hoe" was a garden tool, another kind of "Hoe",  notice my spelling,  is a woman who is promiscuous , has no morals, a despicable  human being.   My freedom of speech is being held captive by these classes of people by  not being able to take the "e" off of "HOE", and call it like it is.  If you refer to a woman by the latter, they will scream, holler, claim verbal rape,  claim  their rights have been violated etc.,  and in some cases file a lawsuit.   
  
  Meh.......The protected class of Individual's???????    What about white people?????
