One of the menstrual cup reddits have been the target of forced language policing as well. Even the FB group attached to it will mow down anyone that attempts to use terminology of allied feminine grouping, ie: "sisters", "womanhood", "sisterhood", or anything that would be considered exclusionary to those that don't consider themselves to be female any longer. I don't understand why language has to be changed in its entirety for the extremely few people who wanted to abandon "womanhood". If you want to claim that you're another gender or gender nonconforming, you shouldn't expect to be catered to in a place where it's predominantly women. Very much a divisive tactic, whether it's intended to be one or not. This trend of self importance is more hurtful than anything.

And aren't they supposed to be dysphoric? There are very inexpensive options available to a transman who no longer wants to menstruate, which certainly a dysphoric individual would take advantage of.

Instead they're hanging around women's communities constantly reading all about periods and childbirth and demanding to be included. Um? I thought you were leaving? They ought to be part of MGTOW with the level of not leaving they're committing to.

My understanding is that estrogen blockers alter the menstrual cycle and eventually bring it to a halt. If that's the case, is there a large number of transmen that aren't taking the medical cocktails provided for transition and just relying on self-id? Or is this an issue with the gender nonconforming crowd mostly causing a stink?

If it does get banned -- raise some unapologetic hell. 🗡

They are set to private, I'm assuming due to brigading. I'm livid-- and I rarely went on that sub. This is unbelievable. Then again, it's 2020.

They claim it is due to brigading by "TERFs and FARTs" but I think they just suddenly discovered most of their users are "TERFs" and freaked

It was set to private when I checked a few hours ago.

I'm not even getting 'this sub is private'.
