Pronouns and idiot fascists

[Miller]

@Aspidistra

Using the word “women” to mean both cisgender (ie, actual biological) women and transwomen (ie, men who would like to be thought of as women)

This is a violation of rule 4 in our Guidelines for posting on transgender issues:

@Ed_Zotti

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. This is a more rigorous standard than we apply in other contexts; we do not normally mod posters for merely insulting off-board figures. Deal with it.

This is only a note, but any further misgendering will result in a formal warning.
