Holy fucking shit, you're right.

The hateful conduct policy explicitly says "You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease." To me, that implies that promoting violence against people for any other reason is apparently permissible.

The weird thing is, on these disclaimers you see all the time, the default categories that always go together regardless of site is usually "race, sex, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, etc.". Sex is always stuck in there somewhere, usually in the first 3.

I am actually pretty sure "gender" means "sex" in this case since the next one is "gender identity" which means "trans". (I'm sure soon someone will scream tWaNZpHobiA!!! at the word "sexual orientation" and demand it be changed to "genderual orientation", they just haven't noticed it yet lol.)

But when TIMs scream "kill all TERFs", they aren't targeting us for our sex (or "gender"), they're targeting us for our belief in biological facts, which isn't protected.

It's insane.
