TRAs ban us from their subs on-sight, and sometimes pre-emptively just due to our participation in other subs. Reddit banned us from their entire website ... we're no longer allowed to be on their platform with our views, which they call "hate speech" and "bad faith claims of discrimination".

That's not the same thing as staying in our own sub, nurturing an LGB-supportive environment, and defending it from false flags and attacks. To them, we're harassing and hateful just by existing, so we must be eradicated.

And that's all despite the fact that there is very clearly a large contingent of Reddit that agrees with our views, and despite the fact that there's material evidence of a problem of celebrating rapey behavior and outright death threats within the trans community that TRAs would love to deny exists. Reddit isn't doing content moderation to keep debate civil, it's outright just trying to shut people up. Same goes with Twitter. Women have been banned for saying females menstruate. Freedom of speech isn't a free pass for any and all speech. It would be perfectly reasonable be banned for going onto a local group for african people just to sling racial slurs at them. Moderation isn't an all-or-nothing thing. That's why moderation is hard, and why both good and bad moderation do exist.
