    Not trying to be confrontational but why is the “white cishet man vibes" remark such a big deal? That seems like something to talk about, not shut down. Why did someone feel that way? Even if the remark turns out to be off-base we might learn something from talking it out.

    *edit after reading more comments, I guess dunk tank users felt misgendered, which is an example of why making flippant sweeping statements like that is dangerous, and why we should talk things out patiently and thoughtfully on this site instead of launching into whirlwind struggle sessions. I still think the remark is worth discussing.

      I'm a trans woman. Many of the things I am interested in are male-dominated spaces. This has been used to say "are you really a woman? If you are, why are you in the spaces that men are? Sounds male socialized to me." This is what the admin statement sounds like.
