Dear friends,
This is a sensitive topic subject to a lot of debate in recent times and it’s natural that there may be some gaps in communication and understanding. This is just a request for all members to attempt to approach discussion from a standpoint of respect, compassion, and attempt at understanding. If it seems that there is a miscommunication lack of perception, please attempt to bridge the gap so we all may move forward in understanding together. If there are heated feelings due to these misunderstandings and miscommunications, please take a step back and reflect upon the conversation, attempting to process the emotional charge and see things from a perspective where you can move forward with respect and compassion.
Discussion about the spiritual implications of gender identity is allowed. Discussion about the discussion, pointing out what may be seen as offensive to the transgender community or how certain approaches may be ineffective or counter-productive, is allowed. Discussion about how that might limit the discussion is allowed. These are all valid perspectives that may be discussed and agreed or disagreed with.
However, discussing a specific person and making an assessment of their own character and distortions is not allowed, per the first guideline:
As such, please keep the discussion about the ideas within the posts and not the posters themselves, and please attempt to move forward from all disagreement and misunderstanding in respect and an open heart.
In love and light,
The Bring4th Mod Team
