It’s like she’s accusing us of o ly caring about one thing. Feels the same as the whataboutisms men regularly use to complain about feminists caring about women.

Idk how someone talking about the enforced veils is preventing talk about the other issues op brings up. Op could make an informative post about the issue bothering her instead of this odd ‘I’m leaving social media!’ styled nothing-post.

This is the gendercritical forum. I honestly thought the main concern is the TRA movement and other issues are discussed on other forums.

Tra are the biggest pushers of gender ideology outside of religious groups (in the west at least) and so they do make up a lot of posts here, but I’d say anything related to gendered thinking and norms has a place here.

I’d argue that the purity thing gets taken too far in most gender critical subs by some users. in cases like this where someone is going to leave because not enough people discuss the sexed issues they want discussed (without ever making posts about those issues) and others where the complaint is that we’re all too focussed on TRA and not posting enough about how cosmetics are bad or something.

Anything related to criticism of gendered objects or ideas belongs here.

I know they belong here. I was just under the impression this sub is specifically about criticising the TRA movement. It makes a lot of sense if the issues OP wants to discuss appear in another sub.
