Feel free to make a thread about "inclusive" language. I made one some months ago, but got off-topic. The only problem, I think there is only a "trans man" in this sub.

"Cis" being nonsense is one of the key ideas of GC, yet they still can call GC users "cis". That is what I meant by GC being the only ones making compromises.

I don't have any problem not using "fuckhole". I don't see what is the problem for QT to use vagina instead of "front hole".

I see. I think they probably feel similarly about natal fe/male as we do about cis. Not that they're the same in my view, but that gets to the differences that bring us here. I think gender identity ideology is inherently sexist, thus its vocabulary embodies sexism. If we scrub out everything that is offensive we'll end up debating a phantom, and people who visit here won't understand the nature of our disagreements at all.

I'm not scrubbing everything that is offensive. Unfortunately, I cannot satisfy everyone. You and others think I'm too harsh as a mod. On the contrary, others think I'm too bland.

I'm dumb, in my comments today I didn't realize I was communicating with a mod and thought this was more theoretical. I was confusing you with a different user, maybe in part because I didn't expect a mod to say "GC have to walk in eggshells." Do you disagree with the rules here? How were they made, and how are new rules made going forward? Do all the mods agree that "front hole" should be allowed on a case-by-case basis?

I didn't write the rules. I think it was one of the GC mods from the old debate sub on reddit who wrote them, but she has left the sub. I joined the sub early this year and I've been a mod for only around 3 months. Being a mod was not in my planes, but u/grixit have been looking for another GC mod for a while and I was the one who accepted the offert.

I don't think the subject of "front hole" came up before during my brief moderation time, so I'm asking the other mods what they think.
