Yes! I agree a LGBdebatesTQ section would avoid an echo chamber, it will help us analyse our sources of information, even if we know we are right.

I think considering that TQs have stolen most spaces on the internet for themselves (especially on reddit: r/lgbt, r/gay, r/ainbow, r/askgaybros, r/actuallesbians, etc all cater to TQs, and very rarely we see anything related to LGB posted there), it will be best for the TQs not to be allowed to post or comment anything anywhere besides the LGBdebatesTQ section so that LGBs finally have safe spaces that belong to only them as well. If TQs would like to post memes, etc they have places on reddit to do so.

But if LGBdebatesTQ is not enough and you wish for TQs to post in more sections, we could have a "TQ" as well as a "detrans" section separate from the LGB ones where only LGB are allowed to post and comment, in which the LGBs, the TQs and the "detrans" can come together to communicate regarding their experiences.

Ovarit functions in a similar way, except there are no sections to have discussions between TQs and GCs there. One time a TQ wanted to discuss with me, and the mod locked the post so that the TQ would not be able to bother the GCs.
