I don't really know where I lie on that point. I think if someone has gone through all the steps to transition then potentially? But I also disagree with the random pronouns like ze, zem etc. and I don't think refusing to use them is a sign of contempt for the actual person. What do you think?

actually some words like Tr***y I can see being banned here, not sure about other things like gc would use but the lgbdrop banned... ze zem and them always struck me as a little pretensions lol, so I agree that that's a little different. I don't want this sub to attract people who just want to mock T. It will change us into something else. Q we can make fun of all the time though :D

Why can't people just say what they want and others have a thicker skin? What good is debate if you can't say what you really think? Ru Paul got ostracized for saying tranny, and he's said it his entire career. Why should there be language police? The TRAs don't respect us one iota. I've never understood why people get hung up on words, and it seems comically absurd in a context where greater violations and aggression is manifest, to bother over perceived (but not even intended) microaggressions. I don't like having to self censor or police speech at all. If someone doesn't like it, why can't they just scan down to the next comment?

Tranny will attract the wrong crowd was my only point.
