Subject: Note from Moderator re unapproved messages

To All:

Some of you may be wondering why some of your recently submitted messages have not been approved and posted to the forum.

My general policy is not to approve messages that include political issues (particularly partisan political issues), or that include issues about racial or ethic groups.

Having said that, I think that several of such messages that were not approved for the forum were well stated and well founded.

However, the problem is that if these kinds of messages get on a forum about transgender issues, they tend to take over the discussion and distract from the other very important topics. Also, those kinds of discussion threads (re politics, race, etc.) often become so emotional that further rational discussion becomes difficult.

I hope that those who submitted messages that have not been approved for posting will consider resubmitting their messages without the aforementioned references (i.e. politics, race, etc.) I am not suggesting that those submitted messages were not well stated or well justified. But I do not want the focus (or the tone) of this forum to be sidetracked into those very complex and difficult issues.

Thank you all for your understanding and for your participation in this discussion forum.

Nancy (Moderator)
