These people talk as if they're being banned from gay subs. As if somehow mods are looking through their profiles, seeing that they post in trans subs, and then banning them for it.

I've never seen an issue of a trans person commenting on gay subs in regular posts and then being replied something like "omg you're trans, get out of here!!!". They aren't even being unwelcomed.

But if you create thread after thread of "I'm trans, would you date me?", don't expect people to all answer yes. They pretend to be asking a question and be interested in honest answers but won't accept honest answers.

Members of these subreddits are getting more aggressive because they're being brigaded with these kinds of baiting, bad-faith posts. This is their own damn fault

Yeah. It's kinda like dating. If you try approaching people, sometimes you'll get rejected. It doesn't mean they hate you, but they have no obligation to be interested in you. If you take the rejection gracefully, maybe you can even be friends.

But if you keep harassing someone, don't be surprised that the person reacts in more energic ways and starts to call you out.
