I'd like to remind everyone that "bee kind" includes not accepting, normalizing, and ignoring transphobic opinions and beliefs. We're all together in this.
I'd like to remind you that you don't get to redefine words.
Having said that, I spent many hours having reasoned talks with *phobes and getting then to slowly see some light somewhere. Even if it's a glimmer, I think that's worth it. You don't get to tell me that I should yell at those people.
Inaction against intolerance is a form of action, is it not? "Bee kind" is not just a call to not be mean, it's a call to act in kindness.
I believe the poster is probably right in that it stirs more toward fostering acceptance rather than simply ignoring hate.
It's not compelled speech, per se—Beehaw users need to have an active role in order to make it the kind of place people want to bee.

Yeah I don't think that's what happened and definitely didn't read it that way in the post.
This is how we take the conversation back. Good on ya!
Thanks. It's not least appreciated I guess, looking at other comments.
