The context it’s lacking is the consistent application of that reasoning across all of my other contributions to that mailing list. For example, I have also strongly argued in that venue that if you believe soldiers are murderers you should either keep that to yourself or GTFO. Likewise I have argued that conservatives should be treated with more dignity and respect. That’s the whole point. I value the intellectual discussion of important ideas in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable expressing their sincerely held beliefs but I value fostering a workplace centered on dignity and mutual respect much more. I simply don’t believe that debating whether trans women are actually women in a mailing list with thirty thousand employee subscribers is the sort of thing which fosters such a working environment.
