They're already purposefully colonizing spaces elsewhere with the intent of making everywhere politically aligned with their movement's goals, wouldn't be a surprise.

yea you said it better than me... that's always the end goal. it always explains the "do I belong here uwu" posts

That explains a lot... those posts always drive me crazy. Like no, this is a nsfw sub for gay men, why would a biological woman "belong" here???? But if they're trying to get them banned, I guess that's the perfect way to do it...

They're setting up a lose/lose scenario where either you allow your space to be invaded by someone who doesn't belong due to something physically immutable (their sex), or you say no and get labelled a bigot and risk your entire community banned in a heartbeat. Same thing happened in the r/PCOS group (women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome) which got invaded by men who got it banned for transphobia because it wasn't inclusive of men (who literally do not have ovaries): https://twitter.com/krithika0/status/1280889930273546241

My bad, you're right, it went private for 2 days then opened, firmly under the control of stunning and brave men who identify as women ready to denounce vile TERFs. https://twitter.com/krithika0/status/1280890176210788352

Hostile takeover might actually be worse than an outright ban.
