I'm worried that people who read about "the Gender Critical subreddit" in the news might not find it when they go looking for it—but will find that cesspit instead and then believe that's what "GC" is about. Then again, it might just peak them.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry. Easiest way to peak anyone is to let them read TRA arguments, and that sub is the worst of it.

I don't see the point of that sub. It's like another AHS echo chamber. How many more safe spaces could TRA possibly need ?

You gotta keep in mind, all of truth and reality is hostile to them. They can't step outside of their echo chambers without being triggered by something like their vet wants to neuter their male cat because he has balls. I imagine just being them is a constant state of cognitive dissonance.

Half of the posts were reasonable GC arguments and people were tearing them apart for being "bigoted" or "willfully ignorant."

Lurking in GenderCynical did more to push me towards actually hating trans people than any gender critical sub ever did. I actually had to stop reading it because it really was starting to make me prejudiced against all transwomen. The ones in that sub are so awful and misogynistic.

Could you imagine a completely unsuspecting person knowing not much of either movement diving into gendercynical first. Id probably think it was a satire or troll sub.
