Good day all, in response to the increase in transphobia we’ve experience since the For Women Scotland v Scotland Supreme Court decision, seemingly a mix of genuine malice and people tripping up with a topic they’re unfamiliar with, I’ve taken the initiative to write some guidelines on how to engage in the topic and clearing up some common misconceptions.

https://guide.feddit.uk/politics/transphobia.html

I’m not all that happy with them, I want something more comprehensive but my time has been pretty taxed lately and I don’t want my perfectionism to stand in the way of having these out. If there’s any issues, glaring omissions or whatnot, then please let me know or make a pull request here.

    I was going to facetiously say

    • Step 1: don’t be a bigot
    • Step 2: there is no step 2

    But those guidelines are a pretty good description of how to follow step 1 on this issue, so let’s adjust it to

    • Step 1: don’t be a bigot
    • Step 2: if in doubt, read those guidelines
    • Step 3: see step 1
