So I've mostly just been lurking /s/GenderCritical but today I made a Saidit account, in response to this. Fuck Reddit for banning all these women-centric subs. Fuck Reddit for siding with pornsickness and misogyny.

One positive is that friends of mine who I assumed were libfems are expressing their feelings about the banning of these subs. I have more allies among my friends than I thought. I'm just sad a site that's been accused of being an echo chamber has literally just become much more echo chambery. How is that a win for anyone?

same. i only just discovered the "gender critical" POV because of the JK Rowling shit...so what, like a few weeks ago? i didn't understand why so many people were offended by what she said.. i soon learned that apparently, acknowledging how my FEMALENESS has shaped my life in ways that males cannot understand makes me a "bigot." i'm disgusted and frankly, a bit terrified that females are being silenced like this by males and everyone is just cheering it on! i got pretty upset thinking about it today...female voices being silenced.. i am liberal as fuck but i guess not "woke" enough for these fucking loons.

When we look back at the terf wars in years to come, JKR's legacy will be huge.
