    But do you think it deserved to be removed? You could have answered that directly to the commenter

    IMO, this is too strict.

      Yes, I do. This is a space where trans rights and trans people are respected. That means that their existence is accepted as fact, not debated in the comment section.

      There are numerous places and resources available for that person to educate themself, if they had chosen to do so before commenting. Instead, they chose to comment from a place of ignorance. We have no obligation to offer them that education here.

          if other people were forced to treat my every feeling with rubber gloves, I wouldn’t feel respected

          It’s a good thing that this isn’t what’s happening, then :) if people were treating trans people’s every feeling with rubber gloves, then we wouldn’t be four times as likely as a cisgender person to be the victim of a violent crime

          We don’t want the rubber glove treatment. All we want is to have the same right to bodily autonomy as straight white American men do-- free to go where we feel comfortable AND comfortable in our own skin wherever we go, with no one trying to legislate away our mastership over our own bodies.

      I’m just enforcing the rules of this instance. Specifically hate towards any specific group (which includes rhetoric designed to oppress) is against the rules.

      Sorry, not sorry. In fact, I took great joy in removing the transphobes from this comment section. I only removed egregious errors.

      In a way you could say I’m maliciously complying with the instance rules.

        I got that yesterday, why the encore?

        use that tiny amount of power you say you enjoy so much and ban me. This good people circlejerk is of no interest

          You’ve not said anything rule breaking, let alone transphobic enough to be banned. Saying unpopular things will not get you banned/comment removed.
