Added another possible loophole around the compelled speech problem.
Oct 28, 2019 at 2:41 comment added Kyle Strand @gung I am not privy to TL conversations, but even so it seems pretty clear that there's a discrepancy between the rules-as-stated and the treatment of Monica. My opinion is that the rules-as-stated (taking the new FAQ into account) would be acceptable if we could be confident they'd consistently be enforced as-written (rather than how they were "applied" or "interpreted" in Monica's case). And of course we can't have that confidence until amends are made to Monica.
Oct 28, 2019 at 2:19 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @KyleStrand, yes, but the new CoC differs from the ideas being floated in the TL discussion that resulted in Monica being fired. What she did wouldn't have been a violation of this CoC (it also wasn't a violation of the CoC then in place either...)
Oct 27, 2019 at 20:37 comment added Kyle Strand I don't believe this is backed up by the CoC wording itself or by the new FAQ: "the CoC specifically states that writing your communications to a person who uses controversial pronouns in a way that avoids the pronoun issue alltogether is also not allowed..." Here's the new FAQ: "You can often avoid using pronouns altogether. It's actually pretty rare to need third-person pronouns at all on most Stack Exchange sites."
Oct 27, 2019 at 16:32 comment added Monica Cellio Somebody in the TL discussion was arguing that not using pronouns at all is "misgendering". I find that completely baffling; if you don't gender, how can you misgender? That is at odds with the plain meaning of the word and common sense.
