- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.

Not to mention tourism and even visiting relatives becomes nearly impossible when you fear for your safety and/or can't use public restrooms so you can't leave the home if you do visit the state. It's one reason I don't travel to see family. That state doesn't have laws against me using a public restroom, but it's still unsafe to do so in either men's or women's. If I use men's I might be attacked for wearing makeup or "women's" clothes or otherwise not looking "manly" which has been an issue for ages; if I use women's I might get attacked for the perceived idea that I'm trying to abuse women or whatever it is that they believe or use as an excuse more recently.
