As a reminder, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

proposing a blanket ban list of tttt terminology lol /hj

disagree, spoiler/cw tag seems fine. telling trans people they can't express what they're feeling is not going to help

Seconding this, a ban on the terms outside spoiler tags? Sure, it should frankly already be covered by the 'no transphobia outside of spoiler tags' clause of the site rules imo. But sometimes I really need to vent about how harmful /tttt/ terminology is for me or others and not being able to use the terms makes that wildly harder. And yeah, sometimes people need to express these things even when they're harmful to themselves and others, which is why they ought to be behind tags to make them avoidable. Also frankly it's not hard to just, bypass the bans by just describing something instead of using the term itself.

well at the very least people should be lightly admonished for using them lol. i guess I can see the ban being impractical but don't think it's controversial that we should be aiming to phase that shit out

edit and I think some of the terms should be uncontroversially blasted off the site. don't tell me "pity passing" isn't a cognitohazard. folks need to be strongly encouraged to not express themselves using straight up harmful language, so I don't really buy the argument tbh. i guess if you're meta referencing the terms to critique them then it could be fine. but like I said I've seen people throwing them around jokingly which should be dealt with imo
