- I opened the discussion at the BLP noticeboard since I thought the point you raised while requesting for the Sophie page to be protected was worthy of consideration by the wider community and editors most knowledgeable about this area. But if you respond to their considered opinion, which happens to differ from yours, by throwing around slurs, that is just disappointing. Just like the subject of the article, these editors, who are volunteering their time, deserve to be respected. Rethink the manner of your participation in the discussion.

- In no sense is "transphobe" a slur. Disgusting behaviour...
August 2018 edit
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Sophie (musician). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 22:50, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Which is exactly what you are doing....
This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. You just violated WP:NPA by calling me transphobic.[1] Binksternet (talk) 05:30, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Blocked by editor for pointing out obvious transphobic behaviour, as this is supposedly a personal attack. Deliberately and knowingly working to harm trans people is the definition of transphobia. Without a mechanism to call this out on a platform, it would only continue to harm trans people. We need to be able to call out those that seek to harm us. Doing so is not a personal attack but clear self defence against bullies. It's really quite extraordinary to be blocked by an editor who thinks "transphobia" is a slur, as someone who gets actual slurs like "tranny" or "poof" thrown at them on a regular basis.51.7.232.150 (talk) 20:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
If someone here calls you a "tranny" or a "poof", that would violate WP:NPA and we should warn or, more likely, block the person doing so. However, you accusing others of being transphobic is also in violation of WP:NPA. Note that it's not a problem with the word. If I said, "You hate transgender people" to someone, that would be a personal attack (unless, I suppose, they had explicitly stated this). If you believe someone is attacking you, WP:NPA explains how to deal with this. This is important; WP:NPA specifies what you should do if you believe you are being attacked. One of the key points is to avoid becoming hostile or confrontational yourself, even in the face of abuse. This is explained in WP:NPA. Note that I'm not holding you to a higher standard than anyone else, I'm holding you to the same standard (WP:NPA specifically) everyone else is held to. Yamla (talk) 21:35, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
