If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something

This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.

    This is unenfoceable and you can see in your own headline why. Why call it a rule? is this a reference to Bill Maher? if so, please stop referencing that loathsome removed, he does not deserve your time of day in any way, shape or form.

        I know I have it in my bio, because I am in agreement with it since before you made it a rule.

        Your own headline says that not all instances have this as an option. That makes it unenforceable for those instances. It is also unenforceable for anyone wandering in from a main page, because they won’t be reading this rule before posting. And then sure you can delete their post I guess but what if it wasn’t transphobic?

        And if you don’t know Bill Maher, good. Just know that he is a ghoul and loves to say ‘new rule’ and then spout the worst take you have heard in your life on a weekly basis.

          The post wont be removed, but I will suggest they change name. Repeated infractions might mean a removal, though, and if someone reports their instance can’t do it, their instance will be ignored for the rule. The purpose is to make a safer space, we’ll see if it works

      jesse-wtf

      This is completely enforceable, the only instance I know of that doesn’t allow changing your display name is Hexbear and that’s cuz we use that field for displaying pronouns lol

      loathsome removed
