proclamation, kinda serious 

Summarizing what I said over on Twitter (twitter.com/CatAndAHalf/status):

Comments along the lines of "cis people should die" or "all cis people suck" will no longer be tolerated here, and are grounds for both banning and extreme personal enmity.

I had a good friend on the gender fence take some major damage from such a thoughtless, prejudiced generalization today, and it made me realize I've been way too patient about this topic.

Venting about the general habits of cis culture is fine. I'll even forgive an occasional generalization. We all say dumb things--or just speak loosely--when we're frustrated.

But as I said, I will not sit by any longer as I watch my alleged allies just sit and play Mad Libs with the abusive words of our oppressors, content to substitute the nouns but keep the verbs.
