Transphobic Excommunication 

Transphobic Excommunication refers to a series of harassment campaigns within an otherwise progressive, leftist or queer-friendly space against a transgender person who has been found to have done something that steps out of line with the ideals of that community by using a series of tactics that would have otherwise been considered transphobic in order to humilate, exclude and hurt said transgender individual. It sometimes also comes in the form of dismissing the idea someone could be transgender because they have done something problematic. The fallout can be a useful reminder to other transgender members who are getting ideas to say or do something that might be seen as offensive or hurtful. This often comes from the idea that freedom from bigotry within a progressive space is something that is earned rather than a right those of a marginalized identity are entitled to have. Many members of transphobic excommunication mobs often feel they are in the right and think of their actions as examples of edgy progressive vigilantism rather than acts of transphobia.
"This transphobic excommunication of Contrapoints has gotten out of control. I don't think she should have said what she did but posting her personal information and dead-naming her was just a step too far."

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
