It doesn’t have to be an academic level debate venue. The fact that it’s not is why we should have the rule. We have a rule about understanding basic feminism, why not about basic biological function? Nobody is debating on these types of posts, all we do is explain over and over and over again how human bodies function and develop. So by not having a rule about people who participate here understanding basic things we learn before middle school, you’re turning it into educational venue, or at least allowing it to become one. I didn’t say that people should understand the delicate intricacies of the human body, I said a basic, elementary, understanding. I’m not saying all of the posts that discuss these things are frustrating or don’t belong, some make sense. But then we get these types, and it’s just ridiculous. Debate why words are defined how they are sure, debate what constitutes sex sure, but to have post after post of people who apparently know nothing about humans, not even how their own bodies function? They don’t even tie it into the subject of gcdebatesqt, it’s just “explain this, define that, how does this work”. It’s not relevant.

And then they say they'll only read "trans affirming sources" whatever that means. Its frustrating.
