Deliberate misgendering - will MN do anything to discourage it?

I've reported a lot of posts lately for deliberate misgendering of individuals, but MN seems not to do anything about it ever.

Pick any thread you like that's relates to transgender in any way, and up pop the deliberate and persistent misgendering posters. It's bullying, and it's transphobic.

I'd really like to know what mn's position is on this.

Hi SuperDandy,

We very recently clarified our position on misgendering here. Please do head over and have a good read of the thread.

To break it down, we think that repeatedly referring to someone by a pronoun they've rejected is both goady and inflammatory and therefore against our talk guidelines - we will remove these posts when reported to us.

We do appreciate that there are discussions to be had about biology and the nature of what it is to be a woman, and to that end we allow posts which align with scientific orthodoxy and which are in the spirit of genuine, civil debate.

If you see any posts that don't fit into the above, just hit the report button and we'll take a look.
