Not banned, but I had a comment removed from r/lgbt a few days ago.

Top post was complaining about cis people. One of the heavily downvoted comments was someone offended that they would make a blanket statement about cis people. Reply to that comment said there's an "implied" some/most/many when they talk about cis people and they don't literally mean ALL cis people.

My thought was, well, when we say women menstruate or men have penises, isn't there any implied some/most/many in that example too? But no, in that case, it's "don't conflate sex and gender!" or "reminder that some women have penises!"

Sadly my comment got removed before I could get what I'm sure would have been a ridiculous reply.

Humans have two hands. Obviously some humans have a number of hands that is not equal to two, but that doesn't change the fact that humans have two hands. Nobody says "the number of hands humans have is a spectrum!"
