I have seen no one say this. What we’ve pointed out over and over is that cis women are not in any way harmed by the acceptance of trans women. The 99% are not harmed by the 1%.

The line about your “believe being different” is the same line always given by those who think argue for discriminating against a minority. It’s not about you being different. It’s about how discriminating against a minority is wrong. It’s about how a minority (or their activists) are not a threat.

**Modhat** : Please, enough; this is getting into insulting other posters.  
I should warn you for:

> [@Boudicca90](#):
>
> You and your “sisters” are transphobic and hateful, and you back up your arguments with cites from transphobic sources and believe that justifies it. It doesn’t.

This is not the pit!

Any more personal attacks and warnings will be handed out.

I don’t really agree with YWTF much on this particular topic and I do think she occasionally went a little too harsh in that other monster thread.

But I don’t agree with this topic ban at all. If you’re going to topic ban a well-established poster there should be ground laid - i.e. public or private warnings. Has YWTF ever had even a single warning? If she was not made aware that moderators were concerned about how much she was posting on this issue, then the moderators have made a mistake.

That’s right. Thousands of posts, ample opportunity for the community yet no one took the “terf sisters” to the pit and yet again there’s a request for You to provide another cite. But then you’d be another habitual offender.

Very well, I’m done. I see how this is playing out…

Boudicca90 was responding to:

There’s room for modding here on monstro for sure. What Boudicca90 said wasn’t especially bad compared to what she was responding to.

**Modhat** : This thread is being closed for now. It has gotten out of hand. It will be closed until a senior mod comes along.

**Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness** , You’re right, so @Boudicca90, but still not the place for insults. Report a post like that next time.
