My observation here is that very rarely does it become an issue. It's not part of our non-existant mission statement or anything, but I think it's important that this be a safe place for all. I can't speak for the entire staff either but it's my belief that they do as well.
I don't know what to say. That's good that there are tolerant theists on the forum, but hey even the less tolerant ones are entitled to express their opinion. Sure it should be safe and open for all, but let's not turn into Tumblr or anything.
tl;dr Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Hate doesn't bother me anyway.
Tumblr? No. We very much value free speech, within some reasonable limits to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. Gender dysphoria is just something that's organically widely accepted. The idea is we don't allow members to be threatening. No one's expected to tiptoe around anyone. We definitely draw the line at threats of violence or encouragement of self-harm, which seems reasonable.
