The fact that male people use the detrans sub is 100% the only reason it still exists right now.

No, it's because they got a slight media backlash. Detransitioners can be seen as poor oppressed victims by both sides.

No one with power spoke up for GC.

I think Buck Angel did, but you're right...again, I don't think we made a big enough reaction.

I think it’s more that “when GC gets banned” was always going to be the time to get out of Dodge, because it would only happen if the rules were ignored by Admins so it would be a sign that Reddit was not a good place to be. And then the way it was done (with no warnings at all for years, just pulling the plug): we weren’t asking to go back up, because we were done. All that was left was to make sure people saw it for what it was, try and protect some of the more vulnerable groups (like detrans: cutting off contact to that community for some of the most vulnerable, even for a few days, could be really bad news), and rebuild elsewhere.
