So another thread relating to trans rights has been locked under Rule 4 ‘Be Nice’ , but shouldn’t hatred directed at trans people be actually deleted? The thread was going really well with lots of trans, gender fluid and queer people supporting each other, but as usual the cis hets dive in to invalidate us. The mod response is not to target the prejudice but to lock the entire thread! This is wrong. Can we trans and queer and pride people on the spectrum not have a safe space here? I know the mods have a policy of non-deletion but this is wrong, were racist comments being made I’m sure they’d pounce on that pdq, but hate against trans people is unchallenged and left to stand. Apalling of you NAS!
There is a certain paradox in this situation.
Person A has a penis and testicles but doesn't believe themselves to be "Male".
Person B makes a point of mocking the obvious contradiction of Person A's opinion.
Naturally, Person A gets offended by this and wants the comments of Person B censored.
The paradox is - who is in the wrong here? I don't mean wrong about biological facts. I mean who is the person actually being unethical?
It's both. Neither of you are above the other.
" I don't agree with what that person says, they shouldn't be allowed to speak ".
Sound familiar? It works both ways.
It's called life petal. Nobody likes it. I always say, only idiots are happy. But you need to learn to brush off the R'soles you meet from time to time.
