I still don’t understand why GC was banned from reddit, I thought people did a good job with being respectful of the rules and trying to avoid using offensive language against trans individuals. From what I’ve read many people were accepting of trans people, just fed up with the whole “you’re transphobic because I said so!” rhetoric if someone disagreed with them. It’s even more ridiculous that they are looking for drama.They have nothing better to do like learn a skill or something?? We’ve finally found a place of our own to hang out at, and they’re trying to ruin this place too??

Edit: I want to mention that I’m somewhat new. I found GC at reddit a few weeks ago before it was banned after trying to find a place that also wasn’t buying the whole “if you don’t have sex with me you’re a TERF” logic. I’m glad I found this place, and FWIW I don’t believe most of those people pushing that rhetoric are truly trans. I’ve met a lot of trans people in real life and have never come across that ideology. The trans people I have met were so incredibly respectful and nice, that I doubt the non-passing pre opt trans people online are truly who they say they are. I bet they’re people trying to find a lesbian to manipulate and guilt fuck. I remember reading a comment by someone who said that these kinds of people aren’t actually trans but people who have Cluster B personality disorders/Autogynephilia(don’t know how it’s spelled), and in turn try to manipulate others into doing what they want.

I mean they also banned r/pregnancy and took over r/pcos.

The answer why all of this has happened isn't "because we were mean" it's "because they hate women"

You're right about r/pcos, but r/pregnancy says the following:

You must be invited to visit this community r/Pregnancy

Congratulations and good luck! /r/pregnancy has moved to /r/babybumps, please join us there. :)

The moderators of this subreddit have set it to private. You must be a moderator or approved user to visit.

My understanding from the screenshots I saw on tumblr was that the closing to private of r/pregnancy and redirect to babybumps happened in the past few days because of tra targeting

They also feel women shouldn’t be allowed to talk about wombs because they don’t have one. I saw quite a few posts about their believing that womb transplants will be perfected someday and then they will be real women.

Except for that pesky socialization as men part.

They can franken-surgerize their bodies to hell and back, they'll still have XY stamped on every cell of their body they didn't take from a woman.

I didn’t see it in the list reddit has for banned subs. Screenshots?

took over r/pcos.

You should have a look at the stickied thread about inclusive language. The mods are not getting a lot of love about it.

The mods don’t care- now they can “ban the TERFS!” by tagging and harassing any woman who speaks out.

They banned r/pregnancy?! Why?

Not banned, private.

I didn’t see these on the banned lists by reddit. I don’t see how those are in the same boat as Braincels, Pizzagate, or Shoplifting. It makes no sense. No braincels fo sho
