    I believe they do, yes. It’s done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.

        I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.

              The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.

                I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don’t suggest a specific one.

                Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.

        Steps 2 and 3 involve denying several genocides and then calling for genocides based on skin color and global locality.

            Going by spelling and phrase choices, I’d say the majority of them are youngish Americans who’re still naive enough to believe extreme left-wing/anarcho political systems aren’t just as controlling of the populace as the political systems they despise. Either that or they crave big state control systems because the feel a lack of control in their own lives and want a political daddy to make the decisions for them.

            I’m not convinced they’re even human if I’m being completely honest. Learning language models aren’t new in the propagandasphere.
