actually, i'm not saying it "after the fact"..the first moment i saw a picture of JT years ago I knew "his" story wasn't quite right, i knew "he" was a female...and i never bought the story about 'his' youth
maybe if you actually read an interview with JT Leroy you might have picked up on something too..or maybe if you knew anyone who is transgendered and often passes as a man the pictures would have given it away..sorry to have picked up on something you didn't, how dare i
You inferred all of the ill-intent from an emoticon? Are you psychic?

Oh okay. You don't seem to mind making yourself look like an ass. Carry on then.
you know what, fuck it, sorry i had a different opinion and don't think that Laura Albert is Satan for making up JT Leroy and lying to people about it, and i wasn't aware you had to be 'psychic' to see someone in a picture and be able to tell something about them (and honey, you don't have to buy that if you don't want to, but it's simply called being perseptive)..and you're right, i jumped the gun on getting defensive after receiving the 'whatever' emoticon in response to my comment (i felt it was pretty clear what the person was, or rather wasn't saying with that precious little gem), i was feeling pissy about the bitchy comments that i had just gotten..ALL i wanted to do when i posted in the first place was to express the opinion that nobody else was saying at that point, that this whole lawsuit against Laura Albert for 'fraud' is a pile of shit, that's just my personal opinion..i realize some of the stuff she perpetrated while under the identity of JT was fucked up and questionable at best, but it's a slippery slope you start on if you convict a writer of fraud for this - what about pseudonyms, etc...so sorry i got defensive and bitchy, it was a response to equally defensive and bitchy comments..i'm stubborn and i didn't want to back down just because some of my phrasing wasn't correct and my thoughts werent as clearly expressed, i think my basic point was still valid and i wasn't aware i had to prepare a thesis just to express an opinion, and i was not prepared for such a catty environment here, i rarely comment on the news stories, and i just felt compelled to here..so sorry
