Do the existing rules prohibit people from debating the gender of people who identify as transgender?

I wish, wish, wish so much that the stupid, stupid tagline never made it across to Discourse.

This board is not primarily “dedicated to fighting ignorance”, and hasn’t been for decades. It’s a social message board first, a debate club a very distant second. And social spaces shouldn’t be havens for hatred in the guise of enquiry. The mod staff eventually learned this for scientific racism and MRA misogyny, one hopes they’ll be quicker for transphobia-disguised-as-feminism

And one person’s “flounce” is another person’s “driven away by hatred”.
