Inappropriate links

Latest comment: 1 month ago5 comments3 people in discussion

OP blocked as a sockpuppet. No need to waste any more time on this.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I do wonder why Wikipedia links people who have made comments regarding quite mainstream views, such as expressing concerns about puberty blockers, sporting fairness, or women-only spaces, to the page on transphobia. This is followed by an image that pops up which is unquestionably transphobic graffiti featuring a swastika.
I have to wonder what sort of message that sort of false teaming and semantic bleaching is trying to put across. I think it's especially unhelpful to trans people, as it perpetuates the idea that disagreement on policy issues must always be motivated by hate. Ajuksock (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

I do not see any part of this article discussing puberty blockers, sporting fairness, or [cis-]women-only spaces. Perhaps you meant to comment on a different article's talk page? —Quantling (talk | contribs) 19:30, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

I think you answered your own question with the name of this section. Ajuksock (talk) 12:37, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

If I understand you correctly, you are going to add comments to one or more talk pages of articles that have links that you say are inappropriate, and furthermore such list of articles does not include this transphobia article. If I have that wrong, please explain further. —Quantling (talk | contribs) 13:51, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ajuksock, I am having difficulty telling how serious you are here. If you are playing games then please stop. If you have a serious point to make, which is relevant to this article, then please state it here, clearly and concisely, in a way that everybody can understand. If you have a problem with some other article then please take that to the Talk page of that article or maybe to the appropriate Wikiproject if it covers multiple articles. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:30, 2 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
