Moderation of trans issue and terms

Everyone you disagree with is wrong and you're the hero in your own narrative as always.

Where have I seen that before? I know -

I'm not sure you could have picked worse examples if you'd actually tried. The founder of Mermaids, was not the Senior Clinical Psychiatrist at the Tavistock whose responsibilities included signing off on assessments which recommended further medical treatment for patients with severe gender dysphoria. I'll give you one guess who was… take as long as you like, and that was the same person who later became one of the Governors of the Tavistock, had a bit of a falling out with the Board, decided to air his dirty laundry in public and portrayed himself in the media as the hero in his own narrative.

That's just poor, tbh. Anyway, good you got that off your chest, back to the discussion now.

Isn’t that something like objecting to “biological male” even though neither male nor biological are offensive in themselves? Only the other way around of course.

User - Transphobia is rampant on boards and I demand the mods and admins act to address it!!!

Everyone else - OK, happy to discuss, please provide examples of what you mean.

User - no, but there are loads of examples of what trans people find offensive. (Im not trans but I know what they find offensive)

Everyone else - OK, can you post some specifics of what exactly is offensive to trans people.

User - no, do your own research, it's clear for everyone to see. If you can't see it then you are transphobic and the mods / admins are de facto transphobic by not addressing the issues that only i can see (as a non trans person)

Everyone - Huh. So we are all transphobic, even though we dont know why and you aren't willing to cite any examples of what precisely is offensive

User - I'm not providing a list (obviously because it would be pure personal preference of what I find offensive and would be easily discredited)

/fin

Well when you are making up more lies ie calling me and others "anti trans" why would anyone engage in good faith with you? It's quite clear the agenda behind this thread, and the entire TRA movement that is everywhere these days, drink the koolaid or you are a transphobe.

Where are the "anti-trans" posters you refer to yet again. Are they also invisible and is that why no one can see their "transphobia"?

Well you weren't talking to me you were addressing the mythical "anti-trans" group that are supposedly present. I was just wondering could you identify any of these so called "anti-trans" posters or are you arguing against non existant ghosts.

I literally said the same thing re moderators assessing poster's intent on page 6 of this now 29 page thread.

I don't think anyone would disagree with you. It's logical and what moderators are meant to be doing anyway.

And the classic refusal to identify these supposed "anti-trans" posters.

I've already quoted and replied to your original post.

Numerous posters have already given their own takes on how moderation on this subject should go including context and intent.

I'm pretty sure that's the normal view sans censorship or mandated phrases.

I'm surprised you missed them all.

Flame baiting is against a number of forum specific rulesets I believe and I assume that it is against the general site rules also.

However the issue isn't really flamebaiting or how it is dealt with. It it how you define the specific terms that are deemed potentially problematic and whether the relevant mod perception of these terms is the same as every other mods etc.

It's fairly clear to me that certain people on this thread, given mod powers, would be referring large numbers of posts for flamebaiting, yet wouldn't be able to articulate why the post was offensive in the first place.

Who are these posters and what anti trans words and phrases are they using ?

I don't want to start a witch hunt I just wanted any sort of proof that this is an issue on the site.

- So far no ones been able to point out any of the supposed pages of transphobia.

• so far no one can point out any of the supposed anti-trans posters.

so there seems to be no actual evidence of an issue to address so moderators should just ignore this apparently non existant problem. The people complaining can't even find what they are complaining about ffs.
