Conventional can be used a synonym for traditional or common. Transpeople are people and worth just as much as anyone else, but they are certainly not traditional or common.

I was reacting to shadowmirage's statement that she's not a conventional woman because she likes games, by pointing out that if she has the right equipment (please note the present tense) she is a conventional woman, as in meets the traditional and common definition. People whose genitals do not match their gender are not conventional, as in neither common nor traditional (although there is definitely a whole 'nother debate about gender definition in non-Western, non-modern cultures that is worthwhile, but probably irrelevant).

As I said in my earlier post, where I live saying that something isn't conventional is like saying that something isn't blue. It's not really an emotionally loaded word. I'm sorry you took it in an emotionally loaded way. I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone.

Re: the random rant about feeling people up, no, I don't do that. I trust the people I see to have a handle on that, and if someone's presenting as female, great, whatever. But one's body does have a significant impact on one's self, and the very fact that transpeople get so upset when their genitals don't match their gender shows that genitals are an important aspect of someone's self. Saying that doesn't mean saying that trans people are lesser. You even acknowledge that when you talk about "implying a belief". You're right - that's an implication you read into my statement.

Again, I'm sorry that you got offended. There was no intent to offend, and I wasn't trying to say anything that was negative about transpeople.

EDIT: I make one edit to fix a spelling mistake, and all the paragraph lines got taken out again. >.<
