Transphobia guidelines (feddit.uk)

Good day all, in response to the increase in transphobia we've experience since the For Women Scotland v Scotland Supreme Court decision, seemingly a mix of genuine malice and people tripping up with a topic they're unfamiliar with, I've taken the initiative to write some guidelines on how to engage in the topic and clearing up some common misconceptions.

https://guide.feddit.uk/politics/transphobia.html

I'm not all that happy with them, I want something more comprehensive but my time has been pretty taxed lately and I don't want my perfectionism to stand in the way of having these out. If there's any issues, glaring omissions or whatnot, then please let me know or make a pull request here.

I’d rather if there was a more clear-cut “this is a controversial issue - please don’t talk about it”

Ah yes, sweep it under the carpet and hope it all just goes away. Such a mature way of dealing with a difficult subject.

I think it's better than censoring one side of a controversial subject

Not everything needs to be up for debate. Admins are saying "here's the rules, no transphobia, here's what that means for us". So no debate on whether trans identities are inferior or invalid

Flamingos clarified for me 🙂
