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.

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.

It's not about telling people that they're wrong about who they are. Just about philosophical discussion surrounding ethics on the subject

You hide your hate behind clever sounding words.

This is why I struggle to take things like this seriously. Probably why I struggle to engage with leftists as a whole. Any time I try and have dialogue, someone has to make a remark like this.

Oh, you're a conservative! No wonder you didn't pay attention to anything I said, ignored all the main points I made and showed all the empathy of a two year old.
