    I see you removed the rules against transphobia and clarified that content can’t be reported if it’s not against the new rules. That sucks

      Every one of our users has a right to browse and interact with the website and all of its contents free of treatment such as harassment, bullying, violation of privacy or threats of violence.

      Why would we need to spell out every form of these acts? Curious.

      Should there also be entries to cover Ginger, Blonde, Black, or a million other specific labels which could be targeted?

      Isn’t singling out Transphobia a form of predjudice? Shouild we also add to the list a few thousand other terms which some people find ‘edgy’?

        Should there also be entries to cover … a million other specific labels

        Is there significant and active discrimination happening to those “millions” of other specific labels where people show up dead on the news in the majority of countries and that exhibit targeted hatred online? Can you point out a single example for a ginger or a blonde being killed because of the color of their hair? Are there statistics about this from various countries?

        singling out Transphobia a form of predjudice

        No, that’s very disingenuous and sounds like rhetoric someone would use to ease up the rules about transphobia. I’d argue that what you’re doing is a form of semantic manipulation.
