ive had enough people having a go at me making big assumptions about me that im a bigot or whatever . when i was genuinly only trying to understand . the anger and judging gets tiring very fast and makes me give up . why talk to somebody who is just going to make out your a bad person for even trying to understand them
Sometimes people claim to not understand or to be uncertain while, at the same, they clearly criticize trans identity or openly refuse to try to use the correct pronoun because they don’t think that being transgender is a valid experience.

This topic has become very charged around these parts recently. People could be unleashing their frustration with other members on you.

Can you provide censored examples (maybe just a brief outline to avoid disputes) of posts that you reported and were not removed, with the reasons why they were not explained. It appears that you think the moderators/admin are allowing 'transphobic' language.

i agree . they need to change that .
Let's be clear about what you're asking for, you want thought policing on opinions you don't like.

I just wanted to know what that meant and where the line was drawn. As magz mentioned, it’s “tricky.”

People are free to have whatever thoughts they like. However, they don’t always have the freedom to state those thoughts on forums.
I just wanted to know what is or isn’t against the rules. I learned that invalidating the experience of trans individuals is not allowed.

You appear to have dodged my question twice now. Why is that? Have you reported 'transphobic' posts, and they were not removed. If you have, this is a problem. If you haven't, how do you know what's acceptable to the moderators/admin?

What does "invalidating the experience" mean? If I say that I don't want to use pronouns because I find them a cumbersome imposition, are you "invalidating" my experience when you claim that it's no big deal and that I must be a secret bigot? Aside from the personal attack element, of course.

The whole point of this thread is to find out what is acceptable to moderators/admin.
What I have or haven’t reported is my own business.

Maybe this is a question a moderator could answer.
In my experience, people don’t just avoid using the pronouns; they also argue why they think they shouldn’t be used and state rationales that seem…invalidating.

Remembering pronouns is just like remembering names. People have better or worse memory to them and some have trouble remembering the right ones but it is polite to at least try.

Reporting a post will tell you what is acceptable to moderators/admin. I think it's every one's business if you have reported 'transphobic' posts, and they were not dealt with.

You mean, they state the reasoning behind their positions? The horror.
