The transphobes do not define homosexuality

Always the genderspecials who feel they should be the ultimate authority on what words mean

Reddit Admins would likely permanently suspend the mods for not censoring "transphobia" and then let TRA mods take over via the redditrequest subreddit. I've seen the AHS crew publicly discussing taking over subs that way.

If that happens the sub might as well just be closed. I know there are good trans people out there and it’s not fair to demonise them, but that doesn’t change the fact that every. single. fucking. time a subreddit gets a majority-trans mod team, they ruin the community’s spirit, ban all discussion that upsets them and turn it into yet another circlejerk about how ‘valid’ and magical they think they are.

Indeed, but keep in mind... there are legit ("cis") LGB folks on Reddit who are TRAs, and they want trans-friendly mods/spaces. I mean, it's really no different from straight "allies" moderating LGB spaces and banning homophobes except this is straight "queers" moderating LGB spaces and banning "transphobes" 🙃

Also, there's only one mod of askgaybros. If the sub is brigaded, and he can't handle it, it'll fall into the wrong hands.

I really wonder how many of these "cis LGB" trans rights supporters are actually straight people buying into the "LGB is a fun lifestyle!" type of benevolent homophobia, as opposed to being actually same-sex-attracted...

I think your suspicion has a lot of merit. For the same reason that trans take over and moderate all online communities. Their "LGBT" identity exists almost entirely or entirely online, and it becomes a hobby for them. A second life. Almost like playing the SIMS or something like that. It's the exact opposite of a "lived experience." It has been a long time since I've visited r/LBL and I think I will continue to stay away for a while for my mental health, but I have had the impression there that for a non-negligible amount of those women, their lesbian self-identification is like an online hobby, which is why their words don't match their actions. I remember I was called "privileged" for leaving a very good life, my husband, moving out, separating our assets, losing my (his) family, and living openly as a lesbian. In what way is that privileged? They're the ones getting all the perks of the white picket fence life, not being discriminated against or harassed, often with biological children, etc. As if I don't understand how difficult it is to come out late in life. I know how difficult it is. I did it. But they deemed it easy for me and difficult for them. They doth protest too much. Yea, it might be a protracted and difficult process, but when you don't really even seem to want to leave but make a hobby out of complaining about your situation, I start to not trust you.

I honestly also wouldn't date a trans men. I'm into penis and I've seen a lot of trans penises to decide that's just not my thing. I also want a partner who can ejaculate and trans men can't really do that.

There you go; A transman who wouldn't date another transman, and their reasons for it. Sounds familiar and pretty "transphobic", but it's amazing how much deference this heterosexual is getting in a Gay Male sub!

The faster, the better. These delusional gays supporting this could use the eye-opener.

I don't think it will last til the end of the year honestly. The TRAs hate it too much. TrueGayMen is kaput now, so more popular targets like AGB are probably not far behind.

The OP's account is 4 days old, brigading: https://archive.is/1pe9k

Does anyone have any guesses for how much longer AGB will last before getting censored/removed by Reddit? I know it's a big sub, but I'm still surprised that it's still up...

Op has admitted it's a parody virtue signal. Sure brought out a lot of TRAs though. Probably laughing at the all the gilding they're getting for a joke.

Oh gotcha lol. Yeah there's a lot of gilding!

edit: Are you really sure about that...? A lot of other commenters supporting OP don't seem to be joking. E.g.:

Several trans women have berated me for not wanting to fuck them even though I’m very openly a gay man and a bottom.

...honey, you’re a woman. What? Please stop trying to guilt me into having sex. It’s same energy as straight girls trying to fuck their gay friends “because it doesn’t count.”

edit: He/she admits it's a parody here, but I really don't think this was made with the intent of pointing out the creepiness/homophobia of women demanding gay men to have sex with them. I think this person was just trying to stir shit up.

It's difficult to gauge their true intentions from a fresh account, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they were just there to stir things up in general. I mean, the op made comments on the very same page in support of JK Rowling, which visibly ticked off exactly the type of person who would've agreed with their trans-inclusive post.

They've been trying to get AGB removed really hard for a long time. I think they've still got some fight left in em.
