I think that while all-women, women-created and run spaces like Ovarit & Spinster are essential (!!! and thank you!!!) the way that r/gendercritical grew was because it was part of a much bigger forum, and so attracted strays and lurkers from other Reddit subs.

Remember how many Peak Trans stories started along the lines of, "I came over to r/gendercritical to hate read but now I realize that I'm a TERF too..."

So I think that we should post on all women-run GC spaces, but still maintain a GC presence on SAIDIT and other broader-topic spaces, because while talking among ourselves helps us gather courage and organize, we are way too small in numbers and desperately need to reach normies.

I started reading r/gendercritical when it had 5000 or so subscribers. I never posted, but watched it grow to the 60,000 or so it had when it was banned. I don't think that would have been possible had it been a stand alone. For instance, the really informative online space that Gallus ran didn't grow at anywhere near the r/gendercritical rate, nor have others.

So I would say, double post, or post different things on each, but I don't think isolating ourselves in all-women spaces will help us in the long run, and we are running out of time.
