    you're right but it's also disheartening. the floor is what happened on the old sub - I can't tell you the number of times I replied very gently to people to say that "he" was wrong and to please use "she" instead and was uniformly ignored. moreover, the insignificant effort asked vs the response in this thread points to a serious level of transphobia in this community. some of that is on display in this thread but I think that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    if we're serious that transphobia/misogyny/etc. aren't welcome here, we should do more than just post about it -- let the bans and warnings flow more freely.

      Small asks that imply to the person reading (be they privileged and fragile) tend to get upset when met with the fact that, “if you’re asking for this and I haven’t done that or don’t want to, that means you’re saying I’m BAD, I’m not bad, YOU’RE BAD”

      Like that time I gently asked that people consider avoiding intelligence based insults.

      This is why we all have to fight, this is why solidarity is so important.

        Intelligence based insults are removed.

        This is a joke. I just wrote the word “removed” in italics.
