> But the more enlightening question is does “wokeness” encourage ego-driven behaviors that actually facilitate sexism and racism? I think it does. For instance, Chase Strangio bringing race and sex into it when she insulted JKR. When progressives defend this tweet instead of calling it out for the same goddamn “dog whistles” they hear whenever a conservative does it, it cements the impression that “wokeness” really only benefits bullies who have racial and misogynistic hang ups.

While there is some sympathy for the fact that you were being baited in the thread, this is not a basis to expend effort in trying to get around prior mod instructions or a topic ban in order to respond. Doing so rises to the level of trolling. For engaging in that, as well as disregarding a moderator’s instructions, you are being given a formal warning.

Prior warning:

> [Moderating] I’d forgotten about that topic ban. Thanks for the reminder. @YWTF, you have been instructed not to participate on topics about transgenderism on this board. That ruling is still in effect. If you continue to post in this thread, you will receive a warning, and your posting privileges will be in danger of being revoked permanently. [/Moderating]

**Any further misgendering by you will result in a permanent suspension of your posting privileges**. This is your last reprieve. Your topic ban re transgender issues is a board-wide ban.
