Title: New Research Shows a Vast Majority of Cis People Won't Date Trans People

Reason: User banned (1 week): Thread-complaining in a thread concerning discrimination

Can I ask what the purpose of the thread was? Like, what would be the spectrum of acceptable opinion in this thread without risking being banned or suspended? Does the OP realise that posting a thread as a mod has an immediate chilling effect on people that might want to express an opinion but feel unable to do so. And for a lot of them, that might be the correct way, to make sure they take stock and ponder what they actually mean before offering something. But it also means that people cant understand why their position might be wrong, worrisome, transphobic or problematic. So far, the pathway to not get banned is to say "I only date people I can have children with". Was this a genuine attempt to challenge conventional views?
