Gonna go out on a limb and guess it was the radfem/"gender critical" stuff that got you banned, not criticizing the T.

People get banned for criticizing the T all the time.

I assumed the opposite. Most likely no one would have reported a shelf for "lesbian separatism" but they sure would have for "transing children."

Nah. Radical Feminists tend to be abrasive in ways beyond just "transphobia," and few people tolerate them. I could be wrong, but I mean... I'm always skeptical when a radfem comes crying like "THEY BANNED ME FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT HRT!1" then you read into their post history and it's full of hateful garbage directed at many groups, not even just transgender stuff.

I had never posted anything on Goodreads beyond criticism of transgender ideology.

Oh, thank you, I wasn't sure.

I can assure everyone I never interacted with people on Goodreads. I never commented on people's reviews or in groups. I set my privacy settings so that no one could message me or leave comments on my reviews because I didn't want to be subject to abuse or drawn into fruitless debates.

I know you have your issues with radical feminists, but what you said isn't true. Because I have on my Goodreads friend list a few women who have very strong feminist opinions, and they aren't shy to voice them in the forums or write book reviews and add public notes to related books that they read. None of them are account banned off goodreads (even the one that was accused of being "man-hating").

I'll tell you the one thing that they did not do. And that is, they said nothing about trans or gender ideology. The reason for it is, they are heterosexual women who don't actually know anyone LGBT in real life, and this whole issue tends to be neither here nor there for most people not in the know and whom aren't personally affected yet.
