I think any justifications you provide would need to be based on more than tra consensus and your personal beliefs.

But yeah, personally, for me specifically, if you could prove that I’m a bigot I’d accept you calling me one. So not necessarily things I agree with, but specifically things rooted in fact, as opposed to “you’re transphobic because tras agree you are” and also not “you’re transphobic simply for not believing in my ideology”

The sub has the rule Houseplant posted as well as a “no misogyny” rule. There’s no “you can’t call out misogynistic comments” rule

Then there appears to be a conflict in the rules as there is no “justification exemption” to the rule banning accusations of bigotry. If this isn’t the case then the rules should be made clearer.

I agree the rules should be clearer. But as I said, I’m fine with you calling me a bigot of you can prove that I am one. As long as your “proof” isn’t based on us not believing the same things, but actual facts.
