Moderating:
Thank you for your later clarification, but this is a very sensitive subject, and I’d like to remind you:
- Please do not state or imply that transgender people are mentally ill. We realize the question remains controversial. However, we’re not going to settle the matter here, and raising it tends to poison other discussion of transgender issues. Please keep your opinions on the subject to yourself.
- Do not deliberately misgender another poster – that is, refer to them by a pronoun or other sex-specific term indicating a gender other than the one they identify as. This applies only in cases where a poster’s gender identity is reasonably clear. Likewise, do not deliberately misgender off-board figures.
Comparing a transgender person to someone who thinks they are Napoleon is suggesting they are mentally ill.
