It's absolute insanity, reddit is full of men who are outright white supremacists, men who want to hurt and rape women and children, men who tell other men they are worthless and should kill themselves, men who spout rhetoric that emboldens political assassinations and mass shootings, etc etc.

But the TERFs are the big bad boogeyman?

It's the same types that years ago rallied against "feminazis", only because that fell out of favor they needed a new term to hate on outspoken women.

He basically explained to me that it was probably because this sub wasn't supposed to be political, but for one it kind of is and second... If that is so, why is being a "terf" not okay but being a TRA is not explicitly prohibited ?

this sub wasn't supposed to be political

Just notion "Dont be TERF" is already making this sub political.

It is like saying "we don't want to be homophobic" and have a rule "don't be gay".
