Why am I not allowed to put 'transexual' in my Yahoo Profile?

I tried to put detail in my profile explaining that I was a Transexual woman and Yahoo wouldn't allow it. It kept telling me that "No spam allowed". Why is this?

    You can put Transsexual in your profile just misspell the word slightly, like Tran$sexua. As to why, words like that fall under the category of profanity which are not allowed in profiles. Or it could be becouse you misspelled Transsexual, Transexual Just play around with it and see what works.

    Interesting. I have had no problem with my profile (feel free to look).

    Perhaps you should contact Yahoo customer services to find out what the problem is.

    Because yahoo doesn't allow you to put words like that on your profile. Try putting it as 'Tran$sexual', or something else similar and see wether that works

    Transexual woman? Im sorry if I should like an ***hole but aren't you either one or the other? You can't be both but a woman. Idk maybe i just don't understand.

    Try contacting the yahoostaff somehow. Thats what I had to do when facebook wouldn't take my last name (which is Dick) because it was inappropriate language... :(
