Oct 3, 2019 at 13:02 comment added Weckar E. @Nij Additioally, I think it is equally so a slippery slope to assume that anyone who is not going out of their way to 'respect' you, must be deliberately disrespecting you. Apathy exists, people.
Oct 3, 2019 at 12:56 comment added Weckar E. @Nij I would never deliberately disrespect someone. I just often don't feel like going out of my way to respect someone. If someone has clarified their pronouns in such a way that I don't have to go looking for it (say, by having to check their profile page), of course I'd use them when appropriate to flow-of-text. But I cannot be expected to check every single profile just-in-case.
Oct 3, 2019 at 10:48 comment added Nij You're being disingenuous. The slippery slope argument is called a fallacy for a reason, and using it demonstrates that you are not acting in good faith. It is not a difficult concept: when you are talking directly to or about another user, apply the correct pronoun, with priority to the pronoun that they have explicitly claimed. That's it. // Their gender and sexuality is relevant when you have deliberately disrespected someone on that basis. By acting that way, you made it relevant, because you chose to have that discussion with or about them. @WeckarE.
Oct 3, 2019 at 3:16 comment added Weckar E. I agree with Alon Eltan. Only on very specific SE subsections is gender and sexuality at all relevant. Should we also research a poster's racial and religious background before responding to them? Their political stance? Where would it end?

Clarify that there can be more than just pronouns at stake

clarified intent of a very confusingly written phrase in the question; removed the us-vs-them tone of the title
Oct 2, 2019 at 1:08 comment added user384163 @ModusTollens It should have mattered for you too
Oct 2, 2019 at 1:05 comment added user204841 @GhostCat I find this important as well, but I wonder - for years women complaining about feeling unwelcome (esp. on Stack Overflow), they were told that their gender doesn't matter because it's all about the post and not the user. I as a woman had to listen to some unsolicited advice on how I should feel as well. Now that it's about LGBTQ, the topic is suddenly important and taken very seriously. Don't get me wrong, it definitely is... but... I don't quite know how to feel about that fact.
Oct 2, 2019 at 0:11 comment added GhostCat A thousand thanks for putting up these questions. I can't say how important I find it that our community looks into this aspect of the whole "network crisis". It is all fair and square to confront SE.COM about the way they dealt with Monica Cello. But looking into the mirror, and figuring what this community (independent of the company running the servers) should (want to) learn about itself, that is equally important!
