Healthy debate includes challenging each other’s ideas. That’s how ideas become stronger. It’s how we all improve!
A person’s idea is NOT their identity. It’s like a hat. They try it on, it looks ugly, then take it off. It’s ok! It’s not who they are.
Calling an idea/action/statement “condescending” is OK. Calling a person "condescending ass" is NOT OK.
You can feel offended when people attack your ideas, it’s human nature. It’s normal. Try your best to not take it personally, and not make it personal.
——
First Offense = warnings
Second Offense = temp ban for 7 days
Third Offense = permanent ban
Note: You are encouraged to continue to challenge ideas!
Now take a deep breath, go outside. It’s beautiful.

PS. Hi! I am your new moderator. I have been working in the field of women's health for 14 years, alongside my mom who is an OBGYN who had a hysterectomy.
The previous moderator abandoned this sub and I adopted it because I want to help you and serve you all.
This is my first official action as moderator. We need to pursue truth. Science is all about challenging and testing ideas, without ego. We need to do our best to have healthy debate.
