So LGB drop the T is down too.

submitted by bellatrixbells from self.GenderCritical

I don't even know what to say right now. I'm appalled. I'm not LGB, just a lurking ally, but I am so, so sad to find out about this.
I cannot begin to express the level of anger I felt at finding out, when I searched it, that there is an LGB drop the terf or something sub where people are congratulating themselves with shutting down the sub.
What the actual eff is wrong with these people ! Why do they feel the need to shut down everyone who disagrees with them (don't answer that... Well do if you please, but I mean, you know!) This community was a strong one. I'm a leftist. I'm always getting in arguments with the right, but I don't recognize the left anymore...how did this happen ? How are LGB people being targeted this way ??

I'm so sad and angry right now. I stand for all of us women, but I also stand with the LGB (and even some of the T!) community. For what it's worth, this ally is still here.

We are here on saidit now. I have to admit that seeing my favourite subreddit taken down was a hard hit for me, but they can't silence us. Thank you for being an ally, and please feel free to join our new community here.

The only people I know irl who wouldn’t agree with GC or LGB drop the T are a few 20 something kids all from dysfunctional families and all very obviously seeking attention and an outlet for anger that should be addressed in therapy and not by hormonal injections or endless lectures on ones personal pronouns. The fanatics on Twitter, Reddit, etc. are few and far between irl.

It's funny, on my side many are, in fact, from rather normal family backgrounds, but they're usually well-doing students who study in such fields as philosophy or literature. Most are white and heterosexual from an upper middle class background. It's so weird.
