Finally, I noticed most of the callsigns above belong to males (all
except
one, a club call). The absence of any comment about those callsigns (from
Riley, you, or others here) makes me wonder if a callsign with the letters
"TIT" only becomes vulgar when used by a woman. Would Riley say those
callsigns bring Ham radio "one step closer to extinction?" Would Jim omit
those callsigns from his list (the topic this thread spun off from)? Would
you as aggressively challenge one of those guys, like you've done with
Kim,
if any one of them were active in this newsgroup?

No it only becomes vulgar when chosen as a vanity call for the purpose of
"getting in someone's face". If a person were to choose it because there
name was something like "Tonya Irene Tidwell" and they wanted their
initials, it is not vulgar. However parents are often careful not to name
their children such that the initials would give rise to unwelcome teasing
and other problems.
