I understand why you're upset and I agree this isn't okay. We can only know this little bit about people online and we have to trust that they are giving us that information in good faith - if they claim to be trans, we need to accept them as the trans person that they are.

Could we please refrain from doing exactly what nearly got programming.dev defederated?

As a trans person, I feel the need to say this for the cis so that y'all don't need to tiptoe around it or keep quiet:
Trans people are not immune to being awful people. You may not know if someone is really trans or not. But you can tell with much greater certainty whether or not they're an asshole. So stick to that instead of getting baited into bigoted language.
Asshole is gender neutral. 👏
Wait what? What happened to programming.dev???
The entire situation should be in one of the recent posts in !meta@programming.dev , its been handled though
