Hex, I don't believe you are harassed because you're trans. I do think people make transphobic comments to you, and I understand why that hurts you, but after all of my time in this community, seeing how various people act and respond to things, I can't help but come to the conclusion that you are harassed so much because you respond to every comment or slight against you. It seems that after years of this people have come to learn if they do ANYTHING to you it will get a big reaction, which will lead to them wanting to do it again, because they think its funny to make someone so upset. I do think these are bad people, and as such they are willing to make very poor taste jokes and comments, but they are only made with the goal of upsetting you into a reaction, not due to any actual hate for your identity.

Freedom of Speech is an important factor in the world. If we banned every player who said nigga or called someone a offensive slur, there would be a MASSIVE drop in players that would result in a dead server. Of course its not nice to just let people talk shit about others or let BULLIES and HATERS spread offensive and negative info on someone. To some point it is controlled and those people are dealt with, though its only on the most extreme cases. I guess there will always be negative people who have fun by hating on others. Its natural. But Banning/Punishing everyone who shares a different belief then you isnt really a fair solution. There have been heated discussions in /ooc about Religion, Politics, Gender, War E.T.C. That result in people disagreeing all the time. This INCLUDES talk about Trans people and their beliefs. Some people just CANT ACCEPT THAT. We cannot punish them for it, because Forcing OUR BELIEFS onto others is not ETHICAL. If somebody says a joke in /ooc about trans people, it shouldnt be taken personally or as a delibarete attack on all trans people. Sometimes a joke is just a joke. If the same person is doing it over and over and over again, then some warning about being more respectful is in order and later on a punishment can be applied and if a player verbally attacks someone on purpose, of course staff should get involved and try to control that person, but Punishing, Negative Repping or starting a heated deep discussion about your beliefs after somebody makes a joke is not OK. People need to be more accepting and forgiving to one another. Try to spread Love and Positivity into the world. Laugh at offensive jokes, instead of taking them personally, Try to help others instead of blocking and hating on them Always remember - Stay Blessed, Never Stressed
