I started a thread in feminism about the implosion of WPATH that was zapped as 'not in the spirit'. The thread was totally factual, with no opinion or editorialising. Can you explain the deletion please. I am scratching my head if it was something I wrote or something subsequent I didn't see. It was only up for an hour.

Hi OP

We included a link to our moderation guidelines in the deletion message - here's the relevant section:

'That said, it’s clear that most trans people find the use of pronouns or names that they or others have consciously rejected, to be hurtful and would therefore struggle to engage in a discussion with those who insist on using them. The same is true of the expression ‘Trans-Identified Male’ or ‘TIM’. Likewise, many feminists are affronted by the term ‘cis’ and ‘terf’, so using these terms will make civil debate less likely. As we’ve said, context is everything – but our moderation team will most likely delete these expressions if we feel they're being used in a deliberately inflammatory way.'
