| Nov 4, 2019 at 23:30 | comment | added | anaximander | @ColleenV That's my point. One could just as easily say "if someone is unable to participate without making folks who hold certain religious views feel excluded, then their participation is not welcome". There are two mutually-incompatible views, and SE has chosen one that they wish to protect. That's their prerogative and I'm not commenting on whether or not it's the right decision, but it annoys me when they try to pretend that it's not going to exclude anyone. I get that when there are contradictory views, you kinda have to pick one - I just wish they'd acknowledge that they're doing so. | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 17:46 | comment | added | ColleenV | @anaximander I wasn’t making a statement about whether it should or shouldn’t be that way; I was just noting how it is. I think it’s fairly obvious from the FAQ that if someone is unable to participate without making folks who identify as non-binary feel excluded, then their participation is not welcome. If it’s not obvious that someone believes there are only two genders, then that someone is free to participate so long as it stays that way. | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 9:44 | comment | added | anaximander | @ColleenV "Free to disengage" is a fancy way of saying that those who are unable to accept non-binary gender have no option but to stop participating, which only supports the point. I'm just pointing out that there are two groups, and SE is stating that in order to be more inclusive, one of these groups will be excluded. I don't want to debate which group is right or wrong, or whether SE is right or wrong to do this. I just want them to stop denying that they're doing it, and acknowledge the impact it might have. | |

| Oct 29, 2019 at 19:02 | comment | added | ColleenV | Only moderators are not given the option to disengage. As a user you are free to disengage. What you mustn’t do is use the wrong pronoun once you’ve been made aware of the correct pronouns. | |
