Hi u/Porcelain_Quetzal! In my view, u/BiologyIsReal has just been enforcing rules and doing it really wonderfully. :)

My 2 cents: I feel like using the words that make up TIM/TIF is not at all the same as using the slurs themselves. The reason GC changed from using MTT/FTT is because TIM/TIF sound like names (misgendering ones). If you write out the words, it isn’t the same. I don’t feel like spelling out TERF would be the same as saying the slur either.

I just worry you might be using your position here to advocate against things that bother you in particular and I feel like it’s super important we stay neutral. I don’t like “trans identified x” and I don’t feel like it describes me or how I think about transness, but that doesn’t mean that people who see it as an identity can’t have the words to express that.
