    But this is literally a gender dysphoric man trying to talk about his experiences. The conversation can't always be rainbows and glitter and hail HRT and girldick. No wonder he got banned for trying to talk about it in a real way, the not-glamorous way. They even hate detransitioners. Anyone who wants to get real about what being trans or having gender dysphoria is really like is killing the vibe and offending somebody, and then they have to run to saidit because reddit doesn't want that shit.

    Why is criticizing the nasty behavior of that community not allowed? Every criticism isn't a phobia. You are clearly trying to put it on him and claim he is doing something wrong, when in fact the problem is that the trans community does not allow dissent.

      No you didn't, and that is the problem. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. He was banned because he is a dissenter, not because he is transphobic. You deny that the community is banning dissenters simply for dissenting, and then turn around and claim all the dissenters who have been banned are "transphobic" and brought it on themselves. You are name calling to justify the punishment. He is clearly not afraid of trans people. He clearly doesn't hate them.

      While this title is a bit aggressive that is clearly due to him being frustrated and pushing the boundaries after having come out of a place where he felt constrained. No reasonable person would assume he was being so crass in a space full of snowflakes. But it is obvious to any reasonable observer that these ideas expressed in any way would make him a target in that community. His is not a unique experience. It is the status quo.
