    I wouldn’t have thought that discord would apply such good policies. Their target groups include transphobes and there will be a lot of moderating to do. It’s a really big step to make online gaming a safer space for everyone. 😊

      So you want them to just allow it since they can’t enforce it? How would that be better?

        Because it’s another thing discord mods can use to abuse their power. And common courtesy shouldn’t be a rule, it should be natural

          and that’s the problem, people clearly are not extending common courtesy to trans people

          so should we just let it go and let deadnaming and misgenderinh happen rather than actually making it part of the rules because its clearly neccesary?

              aha so I guess basic rights and common courtesy and all that don’t matter when it comes to trans people, got it

                  Its clearly not common courtesy when it doesn’t happen when it comes to trans people. They are not given this supposed “common courtesy” That means trans folks are seen as sub-human and I do think we should make a rule of not othering/dehumanizing a group of people in such a way
