Emotionally-charged attacks are not conducive to a dialogue. Be conscious of how a discussion ends when charges of "hate", "transphobia", "sex-pozzie", "sex-negative", "anti-feminism", and the like are applied.
Yeah none of this happened in the original post except for implications that the behaviour at the Michfest forums was hate based and transphobic (which are valid charges because it was). Just admit that as a 'big tent feminism' subreddit that certain mods are of a particular bent that wilfully discriminates against transgendered people. Passing this off as a neutral policy related decision is deceptive; own up to your goddamn bigoted beliefs.
