Getting a bit annoyed with this and I report them where I see them. And this is for cases where the user is actually using the word themselves, and not as a reference or a re-quote to something that was already said by someone else.

I know some of us are members of other communities where that language is allowed. I know there are other (rad)feminists who have no issues using those terms freely on their social media. Ovarit is not one of them. It's in the rules:

We also do not allow slurs used against trans-identified people such as “tranny” and “troon.”

The annoying thing is I'll often see multiple upvotes on that shit. So (a) other people aren't reporting it (b) other people are agreeing with and encouraging the sentiment.

I'm not here to white-knight for these skinwalking assholes. We call them scrotes and moids already on a very regular basis (guilty as charged). Is it hypocritical since one could argue that "moid" and "scrote" and similar insults are also dehumanizing terms? Maybe. But the way I understand it (and I think I've seen it explained on here before) is that:

• the T-slurs have been used by men to hurt trans-identified people. They are slurs that have been used while trans-identified people were beat up, raped, or killed by men. And as usual, men hold the fucking power. No man has ever been killed or raped by women (or other men) who called them scrotes and moids.
• our calling them scrotes / moids / etc are always in response to, and as a counter to, men doing it first. Incels called women femoids, "females" (in the same tone as "it"), objectify us as walking holes to be fucked, a pair of breasts on legs, etc. TRA regularly tell us we are persons with cervixes, uterus owners, people who menstruate, etc. And lord knows enough women have been beat and raped and killed by men who often thought exactly that way.

Potential hypocrisy aside - do we really want to be doing the exact thing our detractors keep accusing us of? All it would take is one screenshot of one user using the T-slur here before it gets deleted by mods, to become ammo for them that Ovarit is exactly the kind of "anti-trans propaganda" they claim we are. Hell probably this very post itself is likely gonna get screenshot and circulated on gendercynical and then mocked to all hell about "TERFs having a self aware moment" or whatever the shit, in which case, fuck off. You lot talk about us with dehumanizing terms and threaten to kill and rape us a thousand times over anyone of us here using a slur we didn't come up with in the first place. Go after the johns that keep killing your transwomen instead.

And the last but not least important reason: can we not give the mods more work than they already have to do

End rant.

Edit: adding on part of a comment I posted below, which was my main concern

I don't care what people want to call trans-identified people on their own time. What I do care about are users who join this site where the rules explicitly say "please do not use these specific words", and then we have a whole bunch of other users, as evidenced by the most popular comment as of the current posting, handwaving the mods' decisions and going, "Nah, it's fine, it's not a big deal".

You are on their site. A site they specifically went out of their way to make because there was no where else for women to go and talk about these issues. Because we were getting hounded off and censored everywhere else. The least we could do is try and follow that to the best of our abilities.
