On the transgender issue...I'll address it publicly so there won't be any confusion going forward.

Of course, you are free to believe whatever you want. But, if you're talking about a specific person who clearly identifies one way or another, then that's how you should refer to them in this forum. It's just a simple, respectful courtesy...even if you disagree personally. 

Thank goodness for Roman's wellness. We have a cat and we love him dearly.

On the transgender issue. This is a private website and I concur and respect to call a person whatever they want to be called. But the dings were after the fact. As you stated moving forward for no confusion. But there is/was confusion prior to the dings, besides the CoC there were no warnings, just punishment even when I warned another member not to misgender a person, I got dinged for telling that member the Mods would punish him for misgendering a person. I don't know if that other member got dinged like I did, but I did see his post was deleted. 

Again, I know this is a private website but half the country has a different opinion see what happened to Bud Light's sales and speaking of Bud Light that was my punishment for displaying an image[front page of the NY Post] of the marketing team that was eventually fired stating under the image of the Bud Light Marketing team stating their old commercial "Real Men of Genious". 

In conclusion.

1. The Marketing team of Bud Light caused Anheuser Busch Billions of dollars.
2. The Marketing team was eventually fired.
3. "Real Men of Genious" was a popular advertisement for Bud Light.
4. No warning about misgendering a "Celebrity".   
5. Warning another member not to misgender a transgender otherwise he will get punished.

I received two dings in the process.
