More QT participants! Being on Reddit helped to people come to debate even though is an awful place.

Why not make the rules QT friendly then? Forbid references to other posters as part of arguments, especially as the reason someone thinks something. Maybe appoint an actual QT mod as having a trans GC mod isn’t the same. The sub is called GCdebatesQT not GCdebatesTrans.

Porcelain_Quetzal is QT I think. I’m not against another QT mod necessarily as they aren’t super active. I’m not sure about your other suggestion. I feel like people being able to talk about their experiences with trans people is important to these conversations so I don’t know if it makes sense to ban that. I guess we could ask people to be more general... 🧐 I don’t know... It wouldn’t be my decision to make by myself in any case.

There are plenty of trans people to talk about without talking about other sub members. And making assumptions about why people think things is just illogical. None of us know enough about each other to know why we think things.

That is funny comming from you. I mean you're the one who often accuse anyone of being a bigot as a argument. So, what kind of QT friendly rules are you looking for? Some that let you bully other users while they can say nothing?

How about not banning a commonly used term for trans mens genitals on a whim your majesty?

I didn't ban it in a whim. I enforced the rule of not using derogatory terms to refer to people's genital, a rule that I didn't even write. And, as I said, you're not even a "trans man", anyway.

It’s not a derogatory term though, and it never has been. It’s only ever been used by trans men to refer to their own bodies. The fact that you banned a term that isn’t even meant for you and is widey used by the trans masc community proves that there is no real intention towards making this place at all acceptable for QT posters. You reign over an echo chamber your highness

It does get used for us. And I think that's something we should be able to debate. I agree with you that banning words is counterproductive to this entire project.

I'll only allow "front hole" when they stop getting offended by "misgendering".

We had like a whole week when almost everyone post was us all collectively trying to work out rules. Meaning QT had ample time to voice their opinions on rules, and the only thing you guys focused on was the pronouns thing. Which- worth focusing on, but even after a few of us pointed out that it was mostly gc commenting and we needed more qt comments… no qt commented.

It’s not because of the rules. It’s because qt don’t need to come to saidit because they atill have Reddit.

And obviously since some of the trans people here are gc the sub is still very much gcdebatesqt.

[–]BiologyIsReal 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, they focused only in pronouns and they got what they wanted at the end because the rule about "misgendering" was not changed.

u/Porcelain_Quetzal is our QT mod, I think.
