Just discovered you can't say the name of place on Reddit that spends a lot of time talking about this website.

What other words cant we say?

There’s another forum it’s best but to mention.

I don’t think anyone cares about Madeleine McCann being referenced these days, or at least, not so much.

I’ve still never seen she-who-must-not-be-named named, in all these years. That was an actual legal battle, between her and MNHQ, though, I think.

There are quite a lot of gender critical terms that were common on FWR that are now verboten, so I think HQ have tried very hard to walk a centre line in that particular line, and the rules certainly aren’t all in favour of the gender critical side. Far from it.

Oh thanks both for the insight.

Shame!

There's a word for the very tip of a mountain, that mustn't be used.
Also a set of 3 letters that causes awful offence.

I'm intrigued who she-who-must-not-be-named is? Any clue?

Okay that’s your opinion and I agree it’s permissible to say things about gender ideology here that you can’t say on Twitter for example.

As a matter of absolute fact, though, there are phrases and terms that the GC side routinely use(d) that have been delete/ban worthy on MN for a couple of years now and MNHQ have been absolutely rigid about that. Obviously I can’t tell you what they are, because I would be deleted and get a first warning, but I cannot use terms here regarding trans that I could use elsewhere.

At one point (7 or 8 years ago?) MNHQ were banning anyone who expressed any kind of gender critical view, which led to the “I am Spartacus” debacle, a very healthy debate, and a long negotiation. The current position is a result is that negotiation. It wasn’t randomly arrived at. I’m sure MNHQ have lost sleep over it and not found it easy to navigate.

Was there really a legal battle involving mtm* ?

Well said. Facts shouldn't be offensive.

<Looks up> lets see if I get zapped.

Her first name is Gina. I can’t actually remember her surname. She was a childcare commentator.

@Rosiepeta someone who wrote books about baby care.

Oh and I’m quite sure anyone just saying “trans women are perverts” would be banned.

You can’t say that.

I find it hard to believe anyone said that. And if it was said it must be one post in a thousand or equally daft odds.

I hope you reported it though as I, and I reckon 99% of posters would agree that's disgusting.
