Yes, I have become That Person.

So, Queer the Census has a Bracket of Evil.  My feelings about *that* aside, I am deeply uncomfortable that one of their categories is "Crazies."  Way to contribute to the stigmatization and marginalization of persons with mental illness.  I am proud of me that I shot them back a quick email registering my discomfort (totally not as thoughtful and articulate as it could have been, but I decided I didn't have the energy for that kind of perfectionism today and if I just shot off a quick email it would actually get sent, as opposed to my usual m.o. of never getting anything finished).

As a fellow person who often would like to express displeasure to entities I disagree with but doesn't often persevere: awesome job! I'm proud of you, too. :)

But sane-ism is so cute! (sarcasm, naturally)

I also love that only women are "crazies," and there are no women in the other three categories. It comes off as BOTH sexist and sanist to me. Good job, assholes!
