Dogmatomia
Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: DAWG-MUH-TOE-MEEE-UH
Sentence: Mickey was very proud of her DOGMATOMIA.

The problem is, nobody knew what statement she was trying to make.... besides "go away".
Etymology: DOGMA+TOMIA... DOGMA- a strongly held belief not to be questioned... -TOMIA-Greek suffix meaning to cut or shave...

That picture is so disturbing on so many levels.
mplsbohemian - 2007-05-02: 11:01:00
Um, oy, that must have come off so transphobic. :\
About the picture... I have received a suggestion that this young lady's allegiances are less than clear, so I have prepared an alternative portrait. Please see: Being Clear About our Allegiances. Thanks ~ James
