English has three animate pronouns: masculine (he), feminine (she), and non-specific (they). But the non-specific "they" covers all uses. If a person says they are (insert gender here), then they are to be believed, but I fear that exclusive use of "they" (as a superclass of all other possible pronouns) may be punished here. I strongly believe that it is not misgendering to refer to someone (e.g. someone who uses "xe") by a more general pronoun. Is that view fundamentally wrong somehow? — Fox 2 mins ago

@eyeballfrog the problem is who determines what is offensive. Some even find singular they offensive because they adhere to a strict view of male and female genders. The problem is that what is offensive and what acceptable is subjective. By focusing on this issue by putting it on their website so prominently, there's been a large surge in trolls already. People have a tendency to see where the line is and many people did and continue to do. For example by having all kinds of weird words as their pronouns in their profiles, I've seen kings, queens and emperors on this site recently. — JJ for Transparency and Monica 2 mins ago

@JJforTransparencyandMonica If it's so much of a problem, then singular they can be required as the gender neutral pronoun, but I don't think it will be. Honestly, this proposed policy still works with a vague "be reasonable" standard, because the default of singular they always exists to be used. That is what separates this from the current policy. In the current policy, you must call someone fae if that is faer pronoun. — eyeballfrog 9 secs ago

@DeNovosupportsGoFundMonica Names are always nouns by definition. Names are never pronouns. This is not a matter of personal opinion. It’s how it works linguistically. A pro-form stands in for a non-pro form. Repeating the non-pro form never makes it a pro-form. We should not use misuse established grammatical terms like these that have precise and formal meanings in ways that are linguistically unsound and unsupportable. Do you not agree? If not, perhaps you could please post a question on Linguistics where it belongs. — tchrist 2 mins ago

@tchrist this is meta, not linguistics. I'm referring to a username and a pronoun as described in the code of conduct and the faq. As discussed here if you believe the pronouns someone has declared to be their pronouns are not in good faith you may flag for moderator attention. Alternatively, since this is the topic of discussion, it seems reasonable to post an answer. But please don't edit this post to change the fundamental assumptions. — De Novo supports GoFundMonica 31 secs ago

Yeah, just not too sure about that answer count restriction. Also the reason warning that appears when you try to delete undeletable question is inaccurate, because the real reason would be that even though the question is bad, the answers have value. Nothing to do with investing time and efforts. — Edenia 15 secs ago

@tchrist I just linked you to the user named "zir". Is "zir" a name or a pronoun, or both? If zir wants to be referred to as "zir", in place of "he", will you say "no, that's not a pronoun, because it's your username, and usernames aren't pronouns?" — House- 'Reinstate Monica' -man 2 mins ago

The question author being unable to delete its own question, just because someone received 1 score or just because two people answered does not seem optimal to me. — Edenia 2 mins ago

@House-'ReinstateMonica'-man Choosing a pronoun for a username merely makes that pronoun a name, not a pronoun. This happens all the time, like asking how many shes are around: as you see, that is now a noun not a pronoun because it has been inflected into the plural. But you cannot make a name into a pronoun that stands in for that name because it is the same thing. It is not a pro-form. I again request that you please read up on this technical matter of pro-forms. Pretending a name is a pronoun does nothing to make it one. That is not how the grammar of pro-forms works. — tchrist 37 secs ago

@Aza Personally, I am angry at those trans people who expect everyone in the world to fall over themselves to avoid causing them pain through a behavior that to other people would only cause them to shrug. We can expect other people not to be outright abusive, but beyond that we have to be tolerant of people behaving differently than we do. The trans community expects everyone else to respect their lifestyle. In the same way everyone else expects trans people to respect their lifestyles (including the way they speak). Respect doesn't mean that one submits to another person's choices. — I am not the way you speak 2 mins ago

Curious to know why people don't agree Suggesting that answers are disposable and should be sacrificed because the author of a question wants to delete a poorly received post (i.e LQ question), is "unappealing" to most users.

My upvote became a downvote. Of course, there's toxicity in the mod community. In fact, your answer is pretty toxic in its own way... This is unavoidable when... people have things to complain about.

Homework cheats deleting their question as soon as they get an answer is a big problem on several sites, not just Stack Overflow. It's probably worse on Mathematics.SE than it is on SO. It rarely happens on Physics.SE due to its very strict policy on homework-like questions. — PM 2Ring 2 mins ago

Hello, please check changes in question per my last edit. Thank you, — JohnDoea 2 mins ago

@Edenia No, every opinion does not matter. The goal of SE sites is to build & maintain a repository of knowledge. We can't expect every asker to become an ideal member of the community, but we can expect them to put in some effort to writing a useful question with long-term value. On SE sites you "pay" for good answers by writing good questions. If the OP needs help doing that, we can assist them to improve their question. But if they are simply too lazy or too selfish to write a good question we do not want their questions or their opinions. — PM 2Ring 1 min ago

@πάνταῥεῖ It's 'review queue for questions (not new user edits) that have too many edits by OP (both initially, or over a ~week)' type of feature request. Prevents: bumping, submissions from people whom can't formulate their thoughts, and "question drifting" - that's my guess. — Rob 58 secs ago

We don't care about people's opinions, people's problems, people in general, but the pop-up message that appears when you try to delete answered questions is about respecting people's time and effort.

Physics.SE has 167 Tenacious and 48 Unsung, sometimes they're for unclear or unpopular (borderline OT) questions that remain open long enough to get (usually one) answers but they're quickly pushed off the front-page and not upvoted; the answerer continues attacking these kind of questions.

@Troyen My idea is that talking about it is almost always better than not talking about it, at least in the long run. The sympathy for the company is at a low currently and not without reason.

@Troyen I don't know so well for other exchanges, but SO is going down, the number of answers (not to speak of the quality) is down from it's peak to the level of 2012 and no end to the trend is in sight. The company does almost nothing to encourage more and better answers, if anything it seems focused on questions and some side things. The changes they made in the last years are rather cosmetic in nature. To me it looks like they seriously think that pronouns usage is the most important issue at the moment. — Trilarion 2 mins ago

@Troyen There is something to be said about the bunker mentality and it's true for the stack exchanges as well as for the company. The million dollar question is how to leave that behind and basically invent yourself new regularly without breaking all that's good or heading in the totally wrong direction? I admit that the company tries to introuce change, but so far it's much more announcements than real action and what real action there is, is mostly shallow or not very thought through in my opinion.

A queue checking for this would either quickly fill up with all of the sequential edits, or would only the latest edit be in the queue? I guess te latter. Meanwhile, what would happen to the previously (now overwritten) partially reviewed edits? Would people have approved an edit that has probably been changed after their review - as is currently the case with the suggested edit queue? That is assuming two reviewers are required per edit.
