Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It is quite weird how no one is concerned if a trans man is a man. I can only imagine it is a sexual attraction hang up. Which is especially suspect when it's a person in a monogamous relationship asking these questions because it literally should never matter.
It's patriarchy also. It's seen as "normal" to want to be a man; who wouldn't want to be a regular person? But if someone wants to be a woman, they're essentially breaking the system since who would want to be a lesser thing??!
Ever been to an event where the line for the women's restroom is so long they start using the men's?
Men care much less about who use their designated areas. Those types of arguments usually fall under obvious sexism e.g. women must go to the [with]drawing room after dinner.
TERFs certainly exist but you don't hear much about TERMs.
I also met women who explained this to be because of fear for their safety, that they don't want to be around men in the toilet (or anywhere in private).
I find that maybe an overreaction, but I'm not a woman to be sure
It is certainly a damaging overreaction. That (imaginary) brush is tarring every Trans person.
Whenever there's a big line, I'll remind the people in line of this. We don't care. Internalized sexism keeps them stuck in line
