    And attacking their gender identity gives people the right to attack yours, as well as whatever else that is not mainstream about you.

    That’s the entire argument. Let the trolls be handled by mods, not randos in a community that more likely than not will find therian identities just as ridiculous as dragon based genders.

    It’s about not tolerating a behavior at all, no matter what, since it doesn’t have a place.

    To put it another way, in a space of inclusion you cant target white people for their race, otherwise you’re just racist towards whites. (Yes I’m aware some spaces don’t recognize reverse racism, and I’m aware of the incredibly stupid arguments racists come up with to justify that). In a space of inclusion you cant target straights for being straight, otherwise you’re no better than antigay bigots.

    In a space of inclusion you cant target a gender identity you don’t like because it might be a troll, because then you’re exactly as transphobic as the people calling your gender identity fake. You’re performing the same actions for the same reason, just with the belief that person isnt as serious about their identity as you are.
