    So you want them to just allow it since they can’t enforce it? How would that be better?

      Because it’s another thing discord mods can use to abuse their power. And common courtesy shouldn’t be a rule, it should be natural

        and that’s the problem, people clearly are not extending common courtesy to trans people

        so should we just let it go and let deadnaming and misgenderinh happen rather than actually making it part of the rules because its clearly neccesary?

          Yes we should, if you silence people they won’t change their opinion you’ll just make them angrier

            aha so I guess basic rights and common courtesy and all that don’t matter when it comes to trans people, got it

              Idk how you drew that conclusion, the point is common courtesy shouldn’t be a rule

                Its clearly not common courtesy when it doesn’t happen when it comes to trans people. They are not given this supposed “common courtesy” That means trans folks are seen as sub-human and I do think we should make a rule of not othering/dehumanizing a group of people in such a way

                    so trans people should continue to actively be discriminated against by not being treated as the people they actually are because fighting that discrimination is not curing the symptom? weird take.
