I'm curious now. I understand that you don't want to directly state what this is about, but maybe you could say whether it's something directly GC related or something entirely different that leaves you in fear of being banned?

And just know that you're not alone. I've seen others talk about being censored here too, some even to the point of starting their own community.

It's radfem-related. The main reason why I never felt and don't really feel welcome and at home among radical feminists. It's also not something I can change, I'm as much born with it, as people get born with red hair or a particular sexual orientation.

Well, if radical feminism is what "bans" you, imagine how actual radical feminists feel. You have the majority of women to support you and your thoughts, and radical feminists only have their tiny number of cohorts. To boot, I think this site and Ovarit just like reddit gc before, are mainly liberal feminist (esp Ovarit--check out all their subs--hardly a radical notion on them). One can oppose transgender on many different grounds, many of them having little to do with radical feminism, or you can oppose trans and porn but two issues do not make a radical feminist.

Who said that liberal feminists are any better?

I made the distinction between GC being the issue or the radfem approach of this forum and/or Ovarit and/or Spinster.

And sorry, but I'm not sorry for women who're othering me. I can sympathise with some goals, as obviously I do regarding trans and GC. But that's as far as I will go these days, especially after my nose has been bloodied once too often.

That's also why I actually prefer working in all-male environments. Guys band together and work together and are capable of seeing a common goal. Women don't and every female only group I've been in my life had such a large number of backstabbers and poppy-cutters, that in the end the goal suffered.

Thank you for answering my (nosy) question, I think I now at least have a general idea what this is about. I'd also like to say I'm sorry you feel like you're not welcome anywhere. With the current state of the world I feel like a sense of community is more important than ever. Especially if we'd ever like to tackle the many issues plaguing us.
