I'd say they're on the middle between AGB and ActualLesbians. In Gaybros for example I noticed that sometimes the mods would delete posts made by FtM that would lead to these conversations (stuff like "would you date FtM?"). One could say this is a more neutral approach: on one side it stops gay men from saying no, but on the other side it protects gay men from being harassed for their answers.

I've seen on the same sub comments on both sides reaching top voted, and comments on both sides being heavily downvoted. It's like the pattern of upvotes/downvotes from the initial hours will be kept during the entire conversation, so it depends on who gets to the post earlier.

From what I've seen from comments that get upvoted/downvoted and deleted, I'd say it's a thin line. Usually mods will allow you to say you aren't interested in FtM when these questions arise (I believe in ActualLesbians this isn't allowed). But you have to be very careful with how you say it or else the comment will be removed.

Many comments dismiss the situation too. Threads with these questions keep appearing, people keep telling others that they should date FtM... But then you also get comments saying stuff like "nobody is telling you to date trans" being heavily upvoted, when a quick look at the rest of the comments will tell otherwise.
