Harassment includes but is not limited to

Post by Kellis Amberlee »

Harassment includes but is not limited to:

* Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, age or sex work.

* Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.

* Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.

* Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour. When talking about explicit sex please put it under the TW.

* Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.

* Threats of violence and incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.

* Deliberate intimidation.

* Stalking or following.

* Logging online activity of someone else.

* Sustained disruption of discussion.

* Unwelcome sexual attention.

* Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.

* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.

* Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse. Outing someone will automatically prompt an investigation due to being such an extreme action.

* Publication of private communication.

* Pressuring people to give details they are uncomfortable giving, i.e their location.

* Continuing to do any action which you have been asked to stop.
The difference between the truth and a lie is that both of them can hurt, but only one will take the time to heal you afterward.
