The answer seems to be, because the moderating staff are ok with it and even use it themselves. Several people have brought up this transphobia before, and although I'm relieved that Vicky doesn't see it as transphobia, it just is. That is something she's understands incorrectly.

..but then if it’s being understood incorrectly, Withano...surely that would be the need for tolerance on the forum../...in discussions...because if these discussions couldn’t happen in the same way...’correct’ understandings would not be achieved...?...it is quite a complex topic...whereas f words and n words are not complex at all in their intolerance by staff...and it’s a fairly ‘new’ topic in terms of progression of understandings etc...’stifling’ will only surely...well stifle and hinder....
