If the policy then has to be that everyone has to be they/them or no one can have pronouns/correct anyone else about pronouns, then that itself is a political stance. Some things are just unavoidable.
- luckylion 6y agoThat feels like an artificial problem though. On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog. It's relatively easy to pass as any gender, age, race or whatever you want to. Yes, it will be more difficult if you call your account Transwomxn or request that people use xe/xir to refer to you, but if you're SarahKnitting, everybody will just assume you're Sarah and into knitting and will use she. At that point, it might be the right call by the community to not accomodate those that want to focus their membership on their political identity so they can provide a friendly community about knitting for the SarahKnittings of the internet.
- KittenInABox 6y agoRight, what you're saying is that xe/xir is a political identity and therefore certain trans people aren't welcome. But that decision is of itself political.
