I’ve shared it a number of times, but @Scottboehemer’s excellent essay really is a must-read on the issue. It predates the current controversy but it’s incredibly applicable to the current toxic and reactionary pushback.

Some background for those who don’t know it: In late Sept, the mods in #MWO invoked the Code of Conduct against a comp team and a number of players who had the word “trans” in their names.
This was ostensibly to protect trans players because... reasons?
It was a mistake.
