I disagree that any of this stuff has to do with transgender people at all. I think that's being used to trigger conflict.

@einpoklum I think that's too cynical. I doubt SO deliberately wants to have a conflict over this. What makes more sense (especially in light of Sara Chipps' comments you noted, and the lack of any backpedaling) is that they see this as a righteous crusade for transgender rights.

... just to clarify: Many users are mis-directing their consternation and frustration with SE Inc. heavy-handed actions towards LGBTQ+ people or those of them who use custom pronouns, as though its the custom-pronoun users who are pushing SE Inc. to do what they do, or who got Monica Cellio ousted, or even who demanded that extreme action be taken.

I don't think your step 1 airing of grievances approach is in line with the recommendations of gender and oppression experts. You're not supposed to ask that people come and do a bunch of free work for you explaining how not to cause them problems; you're supposed to do your own research in already-published sources.

I disagree with your fuzzy doughnut analogy. IMO the intention (not the implementation) of the rules were to get rid of any people being purposely mean to the LGBT+ community. This doesn’t push everybody except LGBT+ people down, it simply gets rid of the people pushing LGBT+ people down. (Again, I’m talking about the intention, not the implementation).
