We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.

We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior. In particular, we don’t tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups.

This 'struggle session' has cut open a sore of cisnormativity which allows plausible deniability of transphobic action and thought. It's senseless and insensitive to push back against what should be a non-issue. Cis and trans alike, set your pronouns so as to normalize an aspect of trans inclusion that goes some way to dispel cishet patriarchal norms assumed default by almost every space, especially online.

There is no excuse (that hasn't been considered and discussed and where applicable, taken on board) to push back against this as we as a community have. We can (and should) do better.

Honest question because I'm a little out of loop. Seeing a whole lot of these posts lately and were TERFS genuinely a big problem on this site?

Being a leftist but not supporting Trans liberation is like saying - "Yeah, I'm a Marxist who supports the struggles of the working class... except for service workers - they don't count as laborers." Just does not compute.

Hoping our Trans comrades are feeling welcome here!

I was shocked by how many posters, even longtime ones, posted disgusting transphobic shit in the pronoun threads. It caught a lot of people off-guard, myself included, which fanned the flames of the struggle sesh way more than I think anyone expected.

Its not a BIG problem but its VERY noticeable when theres a terf stirring shit. It only takes one or two in a thread to ruin everyones mood. We will probably have a context thread or whatever to make it clear what went down for those who aint terminally online. If nobody does it soon I'll make sure and do it myself :)
