https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/hnjx61/after_losing_rpcos_rgendercriticalguys_goes_after/ comments from bardfinn, a transgestapo power mod from against hate subreddits who seems to have an inordinate amount of pull:

PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome. Transgender men and "cis" men with "anomalous" ovarian tissue develop PCOS; the Gender Critical bigotry worldview is that only women can develop PCOS because to them, anyone with "a legitimate" set of ovaries is a woman / anyone "whom nature intended to have" a "legitimate set" of ovaries is a woman -- and that "including men" in that discussion / support is oppressive towards women.

They've lost this argument, because

While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect those who promote attacks of hate or who try to hide their hate in bad faith claims of discrimination.

If anyone wants to bother, check out this person's comment history bardfinn Totally unhinged in terms of his/her obsession with Gender Critical. Is a big time Contrapoints fan. Some of the comments are vile. Insists pornography has nothing to do with hating women, for example, that GC posters are neo-nazis, that women who claim PCOS is a woman's disease are bigots.
Send a message to reddit regarding moderation issues, although I know I won't get feedback. This mod is obviously obsessed with connecting GC posters to neo-nazis and is using that as an excuse to ban/track us. He/she even admittedly created fake subs at one point to "catch extremists". Totally bizarre.

What's sad is that TRA's invaded PCOS, and the users fought back. And they blocked the users there.

And it was overrun with transwomen. Not transmen.

PCOS is believed to be caused by high testosterone. Transmen take testosterone. Yes, some of the symptoms overlap - the hair loss, the damage to the organs, etc - but the cause is different.

PCOS has other horomonal issues than just high testosterone. I have it. and i've long been upset that a lot of things are covered for transwomen and nobody cares what PCOS does to female bodies. At all. God this is so disgusting on reddit's part.

I'm only on there for a couple subs that will likely get banned and some niche hobby stuff, but i've noticed that the hobby subs seem to just sort of "ignore" the transactivism that comes through because, not that many TRAs actually pick up hobbies to post about. I wonder how long till those subs get banned anyhow for some reason or another. Someone posts something they consider transphobic I'm sure...
