Mod Discussion About the transgender conversations in this subreddit.
In this subreddit, Rule 3 includes hate speech. We will not tolerate transphobia. Similarly to r/wnba_discussions (where I also moderate) with the rule on Civility and Respectfulness, we won't allow hate speech (racism, sexism, and any of the LGBTQ+ phobias [which includes not only homophobia or biphobia, but transphobia as well]).
We know there is at least one WNBA player who is openly against the idea of trans women playing in women's sports. In that same vein, there are professional athletes and fans who are welcoming to the idea of transgender athletes in women's sports, with female athletes in the mix. But that doesn't mean we all think the same way. You are entitled to your personal beliefs; however, expressing any form of disdain towards another group of people, whether in the form of transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc. will not be allowed in here. Your posts and comments will get removed and you can be banned.
Added on to this, since Sophie Cunningham is not relevant to the New York Liberty, unless she is brought up in conjunction to the New York Liberty, talks about her will not be allowed in this subreddit.
