  • There were people being reactionary during that but personally i think a lot of it was exacerbated by the hostility of the mods and others with the ‘if you don’t set pronouns you’re transphobic’ rhetoric, instead of doing something sensible like simply forcing people to pick pronouns. Instead of calling people transphobic for not understanding the social benefit of everyone having them set, as well as overlooking trans or questioning people who didn’t want to have to declare their pronouns, not to mention the lack of options at the time which made this worse.

    Struggle sessions about this filled the front page for days and probably made lots of trans users stay away.
