Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.
Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.
An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.
Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.

There were a lot of these notes in RPG books in the 90s. I remember also seeing alternating between he and she every paragraph (this sucked btw) and a convention where the players are he/him and the GM is she/her (sounds almost reasonable until they try to use it instead of specifying which player).
"she/he", "he/she" and "(s)he" in academic texts where a thing for a while.
Would have been so much cleaner to just read "they" or "them".
I think Ars Magica has a note where they basically say "We'll throw around masculine and feminine pronouns and differently gendered nouns completely at random." They use a lot of Latin, so there's a lot of gendered nouns. Unfortunately they never seem to address genders or lack thereof outside the binary, but then again, neither does Latin.
