Dear fellow Wikipedians and Wikimedians,
Without a doubt, my errors in publishing an essay in the most recent Signpost has divided us instead of bringing editors together. I made a serious mistake that offended many. I don't like doing that to people-I would rather make them laugh. I'm not sure if anyone laughed, but if they did they are like me and don't understand the serious issues behind the struggles of young, transgendered youth who, I hope never read the piece. I am sorry.

I am going to do something that I've not seen anywhere. I am asking for forgiveness for this.

It is not only transgendered youth who were affected by my mistake; look at how many of us got distracted and had to spend time dealing with this serious issue! Wouldn't it be great to see something good come out of this? I hope to educate myself more on these topics. (Does anyone know of a good online encyclopedia I can consult?) And thank you for reading the Signpost. Please contribute. For those who do contribute, thank you very much. I actually read the 'rag' and laugh more at the other articles than my own.
