I think she is of the school of thought of "why can't we all just be nice and get along?"

That doesn't work when there's an abusive community trying to impose itself on another community.

This mod at one point a few years ago actually tried to steer truelesbians away from being allowed to talk about trans issues and GC issues in general. It went down like a lead balloon, so she quickly deleted the suggestion, but I think it was an accurate reflection of what she thought at that time at least. According to her thinking the transcritical and GC lesbians were big 'meanies' who were bringing the community down/into disrepute who should be quiet and not 'disrupt' the 'nice' lesbian content.

Lots of people made comments talking abut the fact that the conflict with trans ideology is a big issue that lesbians are facing in multiple ways, and that not being allowed to talk about it would just create a huge elephant in the room. So then she deleted the entire thread about it, lol. I think she had no idea she'd get that negative reaction to it, which was weird because tons of lesbians only ended up at TrueLesbians after getting banned for saying some innocuous thing like they didn't do dick on ActualLesbians or somewhere.

So I think if TrueLesbians does end up back on reddit, it will be a space where lesbians are basically neutered from being able to talk about nearly everything. But good luck to her if she wants to manage that kind of nicey-nice community where lesbians tip-toe around the men so as not to upset them.
