I swear ONTD had a gender critical stance not too long ago, and it was the TRA/handmaidens who were the minority... what happened?

They did, not too long ago either.

Now they're back to full lib fem garbage.

That's disappointing. It must have been a really quick change then. I wouldn't be surprised if TRAs took over to colonize ONTD again.

I remember recently (I think in one of the JKR posts) a user being upset about misogyny, and one of the mods (toxic_illusion) basically told them that if they didn't like it they could leave the community. I messaged another mod (ms_melissa) about that but they deleted my comment. Ironic thing is that ms_melissa runs women-focused film pages on other social platforms.

When? I've been on Livejournal since forever but only got into ONTD in the past year or two and it has seemed super trans positive, and I got banned from it back in the winter for being GC. For me it's hard to believe it was ever GC, lol.

Just a year ago when Yaniv made a bunch of headlines, there was a post about Ricky Gervais talking about the salon issue. It was during that time when GC views were being discussed openly. If you got banned in the winter, there must have been a sudden shift since summer of 2019.

Yeah, I found out about GC feminism through ONTD. I hadn't actually heard much about trans stuff before that. But it seems like now you get warned by mods for pointing out misogyny or homophobia in trans posts. Before r/gendercritical got shut down, a few people on there said that a lot of GC women and lesbians had been banned.
