This is because the thread requested to not be moderated. The IKs are the only ones who are conceivably allowed to do anything in this thread. The best action would be to PM Koos directly and explain what has been happening and that you are requesting some action from the Moderators, otherwise they will continue to keep a hands off policy.

Some women probably feel extremely uncomfortable seeing a trans women naked in a change room, for various reasons. I admit I don't know how to nicely solve that problem, but I know "separate but equal" isn't equal at all.

It's a very complicated area because there are so many concerns involved in things like this, many of which are contradictory. Some people might get the vapours because they caught a glimpse of some unexpected genitals, some might actually be legitimately triggered due to their experiences. Some might be afraid that someone of the opposite gender is going to assault them, but you can also be assaulted by people of your own gender. Some think children need to be shielded from seeing the opposite sex naked until they're adults, some think it's all healthy and natural and a part of normal development. Some people are disabled or have injuries which some people can find repulsive but disabled people have as much right and need to use the facilities, and who's to say what is/isn't offensive to the eye. Much of it is down to an unnecessary prudishness and prurience about sex and human bodies in general but assaults happen and women in particular may need actual protection or at least reassurance of it existing.

The solution isn't to single out one of the many groups that society has mostly unjustified concerns about and are probably more likely to be the ones needing protection compared to the others demanding it. The solution in this case of a changing room is to have single occupancy room/cubicles, which requires investment in the facilities (so, hah!). Or educating the whole population out of its ridiculous hangups about nakedness and sex, which could go a long way toward solving lots of other issues (so, even bigger hah!). Like many areas the transgender component of this moral panic is far less problematic than many others yet they're the ones expected to make the accommodation or be outright excluded. I'm hoping we're not the only ones seeing this for the obvious culture war political point-scoring nonsense it is.

Anyway, solidarity to anyone affected by all this transphobic horseshit flying around.

There's been inaction over a couple of incidents recently. The last time this happened, Owl was given IK powers - but IK status doesn't seem to carry over when the thread is rebooted seasonally.

I don't have PMs, but would that fall to Koos or someone else to give Owl IK powers?

Pretty poo poo to read this morning, to be honest. Solidarity to all the trans posters/lurkers.

Solefald posted:

Yeah, usually a Moderator of the subforum (can be the others, not just Koos) will ask an Admin to give someone IK powers. I think it just gets forgotten about when the thread is refreshed.

Obv the other course of action is to make reports. Multiple reports on one person is more likely to get their attention so I'll always stress the importance of making them, especially if you don't have PMs.

You can also discuss stuff in the D&D Feedback thread when it's open or make a thread in SAD to raise the concerns more urgently.

HooperUK's advice about putting someone on ignore is sound too. Not necessarily as a long term solution of course but it will just help until something more is done about the person and situation.

I specifically pointed out to koos that I don't get IK powers when the thread is remade and he came up with some poo poo about how I definitely would. But as per usual that isn't how it works and he doesn't stick to any suggestion for more than five minutes.

I've tried to speak to 99 on a personal level and that's pretty much all I can do at this current time.

As a years long lurker I really want 99 threadbanned as well. This is one of my little happy spaces to read opinions from lots of good posters, and it really sucks to see so many of them having to put up with this nonsense from yet another JAQoff Pissflaps-lite.

Mods need to make sure OF gets IK status each thread so we don't have to put up with this crap and other drive by poo poo posters when some events happen.

Ps. I'm not here trying to make excuses. I've always been vocal about how badly this thread is handled

Just laying down some things that can be done in case folk weren't fully aware.

I genuinely don't understand the commotion. Everyone says Wes is a transphobic oval office who threatens their safety. I think he's a bit of a wimp.

All men are men and women women.

I'm just an idiot troll oval office whose opinion doesn't matter so to those upset just remember that I guess.

Even having NJ on ignore is annoying because they post all the time and it still notifies you that they've posted/you see most of their posts when people quote/reply.

That's my lurker input.

NoneMoreNegative posted:

Yeah on desktop I have an old 'true ignore' Tampermonkey script that still somehow works will completely invisible ignored users posts (not even the 'this ignored poster posted' links show up) and also anyone quoting that poster will have that post invisible. Makes for some short page threads sometimes, you know when you go to a new page and there's like four posts you know some stupid poo poo has gone down.

Doesn't help on mobile etc of course.

Cheers Tess, thread always just moves way fast for me, I mean look at it go now!

I just wanted to show there are probably quite a few more like me that love reading this thread and get tired of it being shat up so often. Obvious props for us being the most easily trolled but that's certainly just because generally we just care about STUFF.

On that note, much love to our trans posters. I probably get much more exposure to opinions and thoughts from trans people here than anywhere else and I think it's made me a better person. I live in a particular tory hellscape so I try to push back against transphobic poo poo whenever I encounter it which is sadly so much more common it feel. Sometimes I think I even get through to these people a bit sometimes. It feels like all I can do sometimes and it sucks, but I know it has to be so much harder for all the people having their basic rights stomped on all the time...
