when he was still a she. It was certainly hard determine when he transitioned.

According to the GC arguments, one can not go from a he to a she, or from a she to a he, and that trans men on hormones are still female because hormones and surgeries do not change sex, so I don't see why as a GC you call trans men he instead of she and why you say they became the opposite sex by taking hormones or getting surgeries.

Did you even GCDebatesQT before?

From the sidebar - The rules about language usage will not be changed. Use of TERF, MTT, FTT, TIF, TIM, and the t-slur and misgendering of other users is not permitted.

Edit to add: The idea was that it was supposed to be respectful debate. It wasn't supposed to make anyone feel shitty. And maybe I could understand more about trans people, and they could understand more about me. So, most people tried to be nice.

Natal woman. Trans man. Whatever you want to say.

I didn't know the rule was not to "misgender" users, I apologize. I only lurked a few times on that previous GCDebatesQT subreddit before it got shut down by the admins, because I never participated in there I didn't read the rules. Thank you for letting me know about it :))
