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.

Same. It was considered horribly viciously transphobic because ... some women said transwomen were men, I think. That's about as bad as it got. No use of horrible slurs (I guess some of them don't like TIM and TIF though), no wishing harm on anyone....

Is there a link, or something, that states why GC was banned, where they stated this?

Don't know but that's what people said about it.

I looked and looked but was clearly viewing a different GC than they were.
