    I was just checking it out! They privatised it, I was a sub for over half a year now and can't get into the sub anymore.

    Recently the mods seemed to make a lot of pro transwomen statements though (explicitly stating trans women are the same as women and anyone who disagrees to get the hell out of their sub) so I hardly think they could get hunted by the trans group at this point?

    On the other hand, I don't see why they would privatise their sub if it wasn't for that reason, they are the only group that will actually cause them to get banned.

    They've tried very hard to not get the sub banned I agree, but I made a post here some weeks ago that transbians still found it 'terfy', probably since they can't jump into every conversation with 'I'm trans so blah blah' or post endless 'twaw' or girl dick memes there. I don't know if you agree with me on this, but to me there's been an influx of political posts/nice to have a sub for lesbians posts there these last months (maybe why the mods have been cracking down harder?) and that exactly what happened right before tiny /biological lesbians got banned. The problem isn't the sub not being 'trans-inclusive' the problem is acknowledging there are actual lesbians at all, be them cis or trans, because the TRA's want everything to be queer and wlw and fluid so they can pretend homosexuality doesn't exist. 'Lesbians only' is 'exclusionary' and a 't**f dogwhistle' to them, no matter how much the mods say twaw.

    You're correct, I fully agree with you. I've been noticing the increase in posts the last two months as well - and I actually really enjoyed them, but could tell the mods were definitely getting nervous. I just wonder why they, today of all days, cracked under the pressure. I have checked r/againsthatesubreddits and r/actuallesbians and actuallylesbians hasn't been mentioned (in a negative way).

    Same. Maybe this is a tinfoiled idea, but I do think the E Page coming out as trans and the reactions to that low-key/subconsciously peaked some otherwise 'woke' lesbians. Not to the point of becoming gc, but maybe just looking around being like 'wait a minute, are we actually any lesbians left that aren't non-binary or trans-masc and wait, does this mean I shouldn't call them lesbians even, but all these trans women are calling themselves lesbians hmmm...' And then they go looking for people that have the same feeling.

    No idea why they chose to go private today, and yeah I checked ahs too, haha.
