Morning, everyone.
We just wanted to reply to the questions here about the 'stunning and brave' deletion as there seem to be a lot of people asking about it. The answer is no, it's not expressly on a list of 'banned terms', we try not to have those as it doesn't aid the flow of conversation and with so many terms that may often get deleted, there are always times when we think it's not necessary. However, we do think 'stunning and brave' has become a phrase, like 'peak trans' and 'cis', that feels inflammatory, or is used as a trope, so when we see it used in a derisory way we're likely to delete it.
We want Mumsnet to be a place where trans people can join and post just as any other (non troll person) can join and post, and we think some terms like this are likely to make it feel like a more hostile place for them.
Hope that explains our thinking on it. As always, if you're not sure about something or have been deleted and aren't sure why, do feel free to drop us a line. We're always happy to explain or have a chat about it.
