When the first ban wave came, I purposely left de-trans and stopped posting there to protect them. They are NOT the same as GC - they are real people who deserve their own space. So maddening.

It's a witch-hunt.

You can't protect them. They are a far bigger threat to TRA than a bunch of feminists arguing over makeup and hairy armpits.

I was browsing over there and noticed some downvoted posts from non-transitioned persons complaining/ warning of GCers taking over their sub. This seems like the same narrative that played out with the women's health subreddits - accuse them of being 'taken over by transphobes' and then kick out their mods or force them to go private.

Weird eh? When they banned GC I just left Reddit, didn't want to hang around - certainly didn't bother brigading other subs to put them in danger, I don't have the time these other people on Reddit sem to think I have for childish crap. Smells like BS to me. It suited their agenda to band detrans and it was a poor decision (as was the rest of the ban) but that sub particularly was to support people going through a difficult time and they showed them no compassion whatsoever.

Yeah, I really don't want to drag them into this. They have the right to talk about their experience. I've got nothing but support for them. Detransitioning after you've made the whole transthing a major part of your life can't be easy. I'd advice to stay out of there, it's better both for us and for them if they're allowed to be around. It's true that we can't protect them, but we should avoid becoming an excuse to shut them down.

They are against the TRA ideology. In their view they are the worst because they are traitors.

Because the trans community doesn't want you to know that there is regret from transitioning. In their minds "transitioning" is the cure-all despite psychiatric care being discouraged, and they want anything that maybe questions the choice to permanently maim yourself to be banned as conversion therapy. I am thoroughly convinced that plastic surgeons and the pharmaceutical industry is behind this.
