Mod note on 'TERF Island'

Neologian: "Note: Help maintain a healthy, respectful discussion by focusing comments on the issues, topics, and facts at hand—not at other members of the site. But you know, also don't read the article central to a post and cite it. Because sticking to the topic but not the narrative simply cannot be tolerated. Are you SURE that it it the TERFs who are exclusionary?" This comment was removed for being transphobic, but reproduced here to leave a public record of what was said and by who. Neologian has been permanently banned for doubling down on transphobic comments. MetaFilter is not a site that tolerates the questioning of trans lives or people. Do not do that here or you will find yourself banned.
