I found an old post on AHS yesterday of a trans mod saying he was suspended for telling transphobes to "fuck off", so apparently, Reddit used to suspend them before the 2020 ban waves. Who really started this war between TRAs and you all? 🤔

The admins have suspended MyTransAccountv1, moderator of several subreddits targeted by transphobic bigots known as TERFs, for telling them to “fuck off” - https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/e5l4y4/the_admins_have_suspended_mytransaccountv1/

That was from the time frame between the change in the 'bullying and harassment policy change' and the bans. With the previous policy GC accounts would be suspended for much less aggressive things than that comment (which, let's be honest here, was a little more than a simple "fuck off") while TRA accounts rarely if ever were. After that change some GCers decided to test their level of hypocrisy, and to our surprise some people, like this guy, did in fact have action taken against them. I remember it because the person who reported him made a post that was basically like, "wow, reporting actually did something, report accounts like this" (and he did more than just these two comments, but of course he's not going to admit that). I think that's part of the reason the bans happened, the policy change was supposed to shut down GC/LGB activity but the reality was we were mostly already (with the exception of itsafetish) following the rules closely so TRAs actually caught the brunt of its application, to their surprise and dismay. That couldn't be allowed to stand, of course.
