Please. It doesn't matter how polite or diplomatic you are. The moment you speak out against the transgender orthodoxy you get called transphobic.

This wasn't about speaking out against transgender orthodoxy this was about unbanning a subreddit. All they had to do was just ask like a normal person without resorting to slurs and making it easy for the mods to reject it FFS

... a subreddit that goes against trans orthodoxy. /r/gendercritical existed for what, 7 years until it got banned? I was there since basically the start. It didn't get any more polite over that period of time- it got bigger. And when the admins banned it? They took down all the subs- big, small, jokey, serious, even the debate sub.

What do you think would have happened had that poster not used the word troon? "Oh, well you're so well mannered, I guess you can have your sub back!" The admins decided last year that there would be no critical thinking about transgender issues. The words we use won't change that.

TL was banned and we were not once rude to the trans cult.

Exactly. Rude= says things transgender people don't want to hear. There's no respectful disagreement with them.
