Folks, i hate leaving big holes in the conversation, but several comments have been deleted. Jane the Brown, your comment was read by multiple people as equating folks' use of pronoun labeling/sharing on forums with bullying and physical violence. I'm not assuming that it was intentional transphobia, but at best it was extremely unclear, it upset several people, and it was continuing to be a distraction. I can send you the full text if you'd like to try rewriting that bit and reposting; just let me know.
Everyone else: sorry for the delays getting this handled. If your comment also got deleted, it was because it was part of the derail, and you'refine.]
