Hi, OP - I haven't signed up, but I noticed a few typos in the rules for posting and commenting that you might want to correct: 1) you say men are welcome "her" when I think - and hope - you mean "here"; 2) harassment is spelt with one R and two SSs, whereas you have it the other way around; 3) in the first line, a space needs to be added both before and after the dash

On a more substantive matter, can you clarify what is meant by the rule that says:

We believe that trans people deserve equal rights, however they should not be called true women/men because biologically they are not.

What is meant by "equal rights" here? Do you mean people who ID as trans should have same civil rights that all humans have?

Or does it mean that TIMs, TIFs, non-binaries, AGP cross-dressers, drag queens, female impersonators, etc should have the sex-based rights of the sex they'd prefer to belong to and want to identify as - be it longterm or just for today? And that they therefore deserve access to the sex-specific spaces, services, programs and sports of the sex opposite to their own?

What is meant by the term "true women/men"?

I'm not trying to be goady, but sincerely am confused.

Oh thank you so much! I was typing pretty fast so I must have missed those. Well I was going off of the reddit gender critical ideas where it says trans people should be treated as people, however as trans people not the biological sex. They absolutely do not deserve to be in female only spaces. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Does it make sense now? I don't mind clarifying further. True women/men is biologically female/male. I'll correct it on the site. Also trans people aren't welcome there, however detrans I think could provide an intresting perspective of the brainwaishing that goes on. (Only if they are radical feminists after detransitiioning though) And I welcome all suggestions :)

Hi again, Do you think this is a better way of saying it? "We believe that trans people deserve equal rights, however they should be treated as 'trans people' and not biological females and males. "

it should say, "Men who think they are women already have preferential treatment, they don't need any more rights" but i'm a bit snippy :P
