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.

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.

Love to see this - far too many people perpetuating transphobia :(
Not sure trans phobia and perpetrated are correct terms. The purpetrrate tends to indicate a choice. Where phobia dose not tend to.
A phobia is an irrational fear but normally not one that can be controlled.
Transfasism may be a better term.
I said perpetuating not perpetrating and transphobia is the correct word
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/transphobic
coming from or having a fear or dislike of transgender or non-binary people (= people whose gender does not match the body they were born with)
related to policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to cisgender people (= people whose gender matches the body they were born with) and unfair or harmful treatment of transgender or non-binary people (= people whose gender does not match the body they were born with)
Anti-trans fascism is a different word choice you could use, sure
the title makes it sound like this is a post on how to be transphobic. it’s very funny pls don’t change it.
