1) We already do have a kind of safe space in theory, it’s mostly the name “safe space” that turns people off more than the actual idea.
2) We’re doing part of that wrong, because it was people advocating ideas that would be dangerous to the OP that turned her off from LW in the first place.
I think you are covering a lot of distance by stretching “don’t advocate violence” into “don’t say anything that someone feels the widespread adoption of could be potentially dangerous.”
Actually, this is something I’ve been a bit confused about the whole time. What posts is she talking about? The OP says Yvain’s posts, but from the substance of the article the article it sounds like she’s talking about reactionaries.
Considering the much higher than average rate of homocide towards trans people based on todays standards, a reinforcement of gender roles would almost certainly increase that rate.
But those already are the rules on LW......aren’t they?
