I think any fuzziness in what I wrote is because Gender is bullshit and using it makes everything fuzzy. I'm OK with not using it at all.

Obviously the word has a meaning, their actions reveal as much, even if their words don't.

That's how it might appear to be, but it's not necessarily true. If the word had a clear meaning, that would stand on its own regardless of their actions. Their actions reveal something about themselves, not the language they use.

then even "transgender people with a gender identity that doesn't match their sex" needs to be changed to "transsexuals with a sex identity that doesn't match their sex". Please use '"sex" yourself first, consistently, before urging others to do so.

Well, at the end there you're just being disingenuous (edited in hopes of better reflecting the mod's sense of proper decorum). How can I be talking about what bullshit gender is as word if I do not use it? Should I have typed "that which we will not say" each time I typed "gender"? But you are making a straw man: My use of the term in talking about your use of the term does not mean I'm conferring any meaning, fuzzy or otherwise, to it. We could replace South Park's "Marklar" with gender, it would not mean Marklar has a clear meaning. Gender is not used, by anyone it seems, in such a way that it has a clear meaning, other than when they use it to mean some attribute they claim to have.

They are not transexuals unless they had surgery, so we are not talking about transexuals most of the time. They do call themselves transgender, most of "them" have not had surgery. What term would you use, or are you saying we should conflate transexuals who had surgery with those who LARP as the other sex?

Enough with the name calling, FlippyKing.

I edited what I think is the offending word. I have a serious question, if a member broke a rule or series of rules, is there a time limit on seeking action against them? I asked this a few days ago, but it more like directed up towards the ether and rhetorical. Is it too late to ask months after the event for:

banning of the only person in the sub that I'm aware of who told a rape victim they should have felt sympathy for their rapist because that seems to break the no harassment rule, the no personal attack rule, the no misogyny rule, the no sexism rule, the no victim blaming rule, the rape apologia rule, and the trolling rule. That's a lot but is particularly heinous. Is there a statute of limitations on behavior that heinous? I'm asking for a non-friend who maybe should be banned.

There is nothing so formal. I just don't mod past incidents. Circling's heinous comments on rape happenned before I joined the sub, I think. If I'd been a mod by then I'd have been much harsher. I'd ban circling if u/Houseplant wants it, though.

Nah I won’t ask for him to be banned now. Appreciate the willingness to take care of us so well, however! Top notch mod imo

Masks is a shining example of why we are right to fight against males access to women’s anything. It’s more useful to allow masks to repeatedly prove our points about TRAs sexism, misogyny, and utter refusal to entertain a POV that isn’t theirs.
