We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
And to all commenters: let's try to be nicer and more intelligent and helpful with each other please.
In any case, everyone be safe and cool please.
Suicides appear to be real and not a lie (though research on both sides will always have a difficult time isolating causes and correlation, much like the link you shared also):

> You cannot be accusing me of hate and ignorance and policing my tone when you cannot honestly say youve considered and read any of the literature ive brought up in this exchange before forming an opinion.
Moderating tone and stopping toxicity is actually one of the main points of moderation, so thank you for making your point in a more balanced manner. It would help the strength of the 'Terf' side if the more vocal ones on Twitter stopped assuming that all people disagreeing with them must be woman-haters or 'religious' crazy cult people, as it would behove the twitter trans activists from bashing terfs as transphobes or out of touch.
There are probably more things both sides agree on than disagree on.
That's why tone and the way you say should be important to mods, not just what you say - because the real harm both sides cause is to stop debate, because it gets replaced with ad hominem personal attacks where facts don't matter anymore.
