Facebook now has a carve out in their anti-bigotry rules that specifically declares it okay to call trans people mentally sick.
Burn the whole thing down and start from scratch.
in Facebook's case, burn it down and salt the earth so it can never be started again
Also, I believe there’s a similar carve out for referring to women as “property.”
Had me in the first half, lost me in the second.
Start from federated FOSS!
Where can this carve-out be found? I looked at their Code of conduct for bullying and harassment and did notice that harassment related to gender only seems to be protected for "private minors" and not for adults.

Yup, I was looking in the wrong section. This will make great ammunition when convincing people not to use Meta services.
