Ok, I’ll overcommunicate: TLDR if you like Did you know in the last few months she made over a 1000 posts on this subject. That is a crazy high percentage of her total posts in that time also. She needs a break. We did tell her to come back to us in a few weeks and appeal the decision. She has to learn how not to hijack threads on Transgenderism. We didn’t decide this lightly. We spent too much of Sunday reviewing that thread and besides it being hopelessly off-topic, we found her to be the main cause and for a 4th time on the subject in a short period of time. She is an excellent poster otherwise. **11 posts in thread, not sure if any were actually on topic.** > [@Did We Treat Transgenderism Better in the Past?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-we-treat-transgenderism-better-in-the-past/926612): > > Speaking of course as Generation X’er (i.e., someone who grew up in the 1970’s and 80’s). Here is what I remember: -They were called ‘transexuals’. Transgender is probably more accurate. But transexual emphasized that it was purely biological. Their very sex needed to be changed. Get it? -It was a perfectly acceptable medical condition. It was not the person’s fault. I am not denying that we say that now. But I think this was more so the case in the past. The psychological component was not e… **33 in this thread, many or maybe most off topic.** > [@So-Called “Cancel Culture”, Social Media and Bullying](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-called-cancel-culture-social-media-and-bullying/917676): > > I’m not a huge believer in the so-called “Cancel Culture” thing but I periodically see the Twitterverse explode on someone. I have heard of Doxxing and seen reports of groups of demonstrators going to homes of political leaders or interrupting their private gathering at restaurants. First amendment issues aside, do these behaviors meet a reasonable definition of “bullying?” To me, it seems like they do. Am I missing something? Somehow in this thread too she turned it to Transgender debating. > [@The Ongoing Death of Free Speech: Prominent ACLU Lawyer Cheers Suppression of a New Book](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ongoing-death-of-free-speech-prominent-aclu-lawyer-cheers-suppression-of-a-new-book/925913/105): > > The book is selling well largely because efforts taken to attack it have simultaneously given it free publicity. The post above has done exactly that. Seeing this phenomenon play out over and over again in my Twitter feed is crazy. But what is crazier is that I have yet to see a compelling explanation for how the book is actually transphobic, false, or biased (and this doesn’t surprise me at all). The absence of a fact-based refutation only makes its more likely people will buy the book so the… **1059 posts in this thread,** where it was more on topic but this looks like obsession. > [@J K Rowling and the trans furore](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-furore/855795/1763): > > Yes, of course that’s what I’m saying. The more you come back to saying this, the more it looks like a canard to make what I’m proposing look crazy and infeasible, when really its the most practical and fair option for everyone. If we both agree that transmen aren’t itching to be in the women’s room, then by extension, we’re talking about very few instances in which women would encounter a person who is female but presents as a man. Thus, if it’s only going to be a rare event, the normalizat… _We have other Topic bans, this is not new. It doesn’t have to be permanent. Probably shouldn’t be._ I’m not sure what else I can say on this. And of course she is more than welcome to post on any other subject. I’ve always thought she was an excellent poster, after not recognizing her new name. I honestly didn’t understand why this subject would draw someone in to be like an Astro-turfer, but was informed by my fellow mods, who she was and she just feels very passionate about the subject. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/transgender-topics/926758)._
