* 'Reverse'-isms, including 'reverse racism,' 'reverse sexism,' and 'cisphobia'
* Disagreements regarding reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I'm not discussing this with you"
* Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
* Communicating in a 'tone' you don’t find congenial
* Silencing discussion of racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions (though these discussions may be moved to [HH Constructive Debates](http://hh.gd/debate) if they better fit those guidelines)

* Racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions (though these discussions may be moved to [HH Constructive Debates](http://hh.gd/debate) if they better fit those guidelines).
