Do you think that CE/Gamefaqs has a problem with transphobia?


Do you believe that CE, or gamefaqs as a whole, is a generally transphobic place? Additonally, do you think that the mods/admins have good policies and practices regarding transphobic posts and users? What changes would you like to see in that regard?

CE is honestly a lot better than most areas of this place about it. But the answer is still yes.

Yes it absolutely is. Same thing with the fact it was extremely homophobic during the mid-to-late 00s and early 10s (and still kind of is).

And no the policies/practices around it are garbage, but that goes for most of the handling regarding things like that (ie. racism, homophobia, etc) so I don't think it's transphobia-specific.

CE is better than many other places, but still too many bigots in general allowed to remain here with only a stern look given as warning. It's pathetic, but at least the people calling them out get in trouble too, right? :) :) :)

Somewhat, its gotten better over the years. The real problem on CE is not the transphobia, racism, or misogyny, but the bullying and harassing that occurs on the individual level, thats a much bigger issue that goes unchecked.

I was going to say this. It's a low bar, but it has gotten better.

But yeah, it's more so the world in general. You take that and add losers being dicks on purpose on the internet and you get the internet experience when it comes to trans topics.

Cute coming from a user whose main is

and whose other alt is

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/community/Altacct

Who frequently dabbles in the first 3 things mentioned in their own post.

Obvious stuff does from what I've seen. No doubt "subtle" stuff gets by.

Point was more the bigots are allowed to remain and continue being bigots.

I meant more of how are you defining transphobia? Like I don't necessarily consider someone to be transphobic if they do not want to consider trans people as a part of their dating pool if having kids is something that's important to them(and while I do agree that they could adopt and as a product of the system that needs more couples that are willing to adopt, i also understand cis gender straight couples wanting to have children that are biologically theirs.) Now if you don't want to date trans people just because they are trans then I agree that is transphobic(again not necessarily from a place of hate but still transphobic none the less.)

It's always interesting to see how people hear the word transphobia and immediately either relate it to dating/sex or sports.

When else would a person's gender be relevant?

Does it have a problem? Yes. But given that you defined it with the sentence above, no. There are people here who are transphobic, but theyre nowhere near the majority

If this is how you are defining it, then no. I see way more people here being accepting of trans people than I do people being that level of transphobic.

It's like if GameFAQs allowed the n-bomb and didn't mod white supremacy. The LGBT community and especially the trans community just still aren't viewed as equal human beings.

So a trans woman without a vagina cannot be a mother to her child?

In another topic that dude said that you can't be a mother without a vagina and...get this: being able to express milk. I @'d him but he didn't respond because he got warned or suspended or something.

Pretty sure he's just trolling lol

Not asking you to argue, just asking you to explain your stance. You say that I said something suspect, I just want to know why you think it is suspect, if you aren't willing to do that i can only assume you are trying to troll.
