The misogyny on reddit is out of control. Why anyone keeps an account with them is beyond me.

Well, one of the reasons I kept my account was because I have a debilitating, life-destroying disease that has made me suicidal for years and r/PCOS was one of the only places I could find information that helped because the rest of the internet dgaf about women's health issues even more. I guess now that's gone too though.

They have some ridiculous sub-- PCOS folks-- with explicit rules to be gender-bending for the men who have ovaries. I'm enraged beyond words! How does one even communicate about one's medical condition if you can't say "my ovaries", "my vagina"? I just can't.

Yeah they just made that sub now supposedly to deal with the "transphobia" on the original sub, but if you look at discussions on other PCOS-related subs, most of the highly upvoted comments by users of r/PCOS are saying they don't want to join the new sub and be language policed.

It's bullshit. On twitter someone asked if the testicular cancer sub had the same rules. Shocker: It doesn't.

I think there’s a paid mod on the new sub. This person has karma and virtually no post history.
