Again, I wasn't offended by the wording. Clearly my posts are coming off as grandstanding about language that is "offensive" to cis people or trying to minimize the very real transphobia on this site. That's not what I'm trying to say at all.

The only reason I quoted the exact passage was to say that I didn't read that as "nobody understands WHY they enacted the policy," which again, is maybe my problem, but I don't even care to get that bogged down over the language of that particular post. My point was that if the mods are banning people for questionable reasons and that's what you're seeing filling up userunion and sometimes even main or general threads, and you are also seeing some general sentiment about how people getting banned are transphobes and the people who are complaining are transphobes, you might be confused about what is actually happening behind the scenes. It's not on our trans comrades to be expected to educate folks on the harassment they receive, I'm just saying that the optics of some of the bans that are going on are not really helping things and I think it's contributing to the drama which in turn is contributing to the unwelcoming atmosphere on the site... which got me banned and labelled a cis transphobe. :/
