Transphobia guidelines
(feddit.uk)
Are detrans discussions prohibited?
I asked before but didn't get a response.
I don't even know what 'detrans discussions' means. As long as you don't just use the fact some people transition as a cudgel against the idea of medical transition, then I don't see why not.
I don't even know what 'detrans discussions' means
I mean discussions similar to those in Reddit's /r/detrans, /r/actual_detrans, /r/ask_detransition, etc. or in fact any discussions around detransitioning. In my experience, such communities and discussions very much do not toe the trans party line.
/r/detrans
I checked it out and it seems like an absolute cesspool, so no 'discussions' like the what happens there aren't allowed.
In my experience, such communities and discussions very much do not toe the trans party line.
Here is a quote from the top post in that community today:
How long will we pretend they aren’t violent braindead porn-addicted narcissists who hate us because our existence challenges their narrative and provides a living experience for those ones who aren’t completely sure about transmuting themselves into fake males/females so that they can address what’s wrong with them and why they do feel so much distress about their bodies and biological sex?
Is it really any wonder why people not drowning in this trans-hating sludge would find this objectionable?
the title makes it sound like this is a post on how to be transphobic. it's very funny pls don't change it.
Should we all be transphobic now father?
Step One: write a harry potter book
Step two: Open an X account

I was going to facetiously say
- Step 1: don't be a bigot
- Step 2: there is no step 2
But those guidelines are a pretty good description of how to follow step 1 on this issue, so let's adjust it to
- Step 1: don't be a bigot
- Step 2: if in doubt, read those guidelines
- Step 3: see step 1
It's crazy we even need guidelines to not be an asshole lol
Thank you! I appreciate the work you've put in to this!
Glad to see blahaj is refederated with .uk now.
Very well written, clear and concise! Thanks for putting the time and effort into creating this.
I appreciate the care you've put into this. By choosing a neutral tone, you have created a framework that allows for opposing viewpoints to exist in discussions of the topic so long as the participants stay within established guidelines. I believe that this approach is an even-handed way to limit fanaticism and promote acceptance.
Perfection, though sometimes alluring, is an exhausting pursuit. What you've accomplished is realistic, immediately applicable, and amendable. In my opinion, that is infinitely more useful than the ever-fleeting notion of attainable perfection.
Well done, in both the creation of the document and in your personal effort to not allow perfectionism to stand in the way of something good.
Excellent writeup! I love seeing these.
Minor spelling mistake: The heading 'Transgenerism'/Gender ideology is missing a "d".
Great initiative. Looks pretty well written from my point of view.
What's going to happen to repeated guideline breakers ?
Depends on which guideline they break. The 41% one will probably be an insta-ban. Others will likely be an initial warning followed by temp bans escalating to a permaban.
I'm trans and I learned a lot myself from this. I might have brought up the 41% thing and not knowing its use, miscommunicated what I meant in support of trans rights. Glad to have read this, being trans doesn't automatically make you aware of every aspect of the conversations.

Just want to point out that suicide rates/attempts are more a reflection of the way transgender people are treated than a some kind of pervasive mental illness. High-functioning autistic people also have very high rates of suicidal ideation and attempts, because--much like transgender people--they (we) tend to be socially isolated and ostracized. Transgender people that are in accepting communities and who have non-shitty parents tend to have much, much lower rates of suicidal ideation and attempts.

Really great to see this. You’ve clearly put in some serious thought and reflection to come up with something that draws a sensible line in the sand.
That's a really concise, clear and well written guide. Worth reading for general life, not just for feddit.
Thanks for taking the time to put that together :)
This is generally very clear and well written, but I would clarify that while using 'biological man/woman' may be a misinformed/malicious may to refer to cis people, using 'biological male/female/intersex' to refer to one's own biological sex is in fact a relatively common term that many trans people (such as myself) prefer to AGAB
