Wow, this discussion really took off! I mainly replied to VoiceOfRa's comment in order to encourage people to be nice to trans people in general, rather than to advocate any highly specific and well-thought-out position.

Yes, your idea of what constitutes being "nice" to people is problematic to say the least.

rather than to advocate any highly specific and well-thought-out position.

In general I do practice the principle of charity on LW in the sense that I think that other people on LW try to advocate well-thought-out positions.

There no reason that there much to be gained by trying to speak on LW for a position in a way that isn't well-thought-out.
