I asked why and got "For being a TERF", well okay then, you're going to ban a lot of women because the "brigade" they complain about were already subbed women.

This is fucked up, as a follow up with the mods they said I was banned for participating in r/Gendercriticalguys and that "bigots don't do that". I explained those beliefs were the status quo in my country, unlike the mods twitter bubble.

Did you save a screen shot? Not that it would mean much in the long run. However, I'd be curious as to how many women have been banned from subs for "being a TERF". If you've ever posted on GC, they have you tagged as a problematic poster and will follow you wherever you go.

The messages are still there so yes I have proof that's why, I also have my 2 comments on the sub as proof

Oh, totally believe what you're telling me! If that's how you read into my statement, my apologies! I'm just saying it's probably a good idea for us to try to keep a record/account of this stuff in case it ever comes in handy at a later date. I remember telling women on reddit, for example, to first take screenshots of threatening PMs before hitting "block", because Reddit makes it impossible to retrieve a threatening PM after you block the sender. Once you have the name, you can report the person (not that Reddit gives a crap).
It also seems that Reddit admins love to erase all evidence of attacking women, so it's handy to take screenshots/archives, etc. You probably know this already, but figured I'd put it out there for those who are still on reddit.

You're right, I screenshoted everything so I'll have it in case

Not shocked. They're deliberately attacking PCOS posters because their user base overlapped with a lot of "terf" subs. They discussed this openly on against hate subreddits.
