I removed a thread maybe a week ago discussing this segment. Nothing in the shared article/video mentioned LGB or the impact on us. While we empathize with and support detransitioners, and even have some among our group, we're an LGB sub, not s/detrans.

This post is staying up, however. The difference between this post and the one I removed is OP is specifically calling out the impact on us, and the LGB erasure occurring, even though the original article/video didn't. OP is stating the facts (and lack-of) regarding LGB, and asking for discussion about it.

That's what makes it relevant for us, and it needs to be stated. We run a safe space for LGB users in this sub, but we are not yet in a position to assume the public understands our views or focus.

Gotcha, thank you! I did not realize there had already been a thread posted on it that had been taken down for that reason. I'll continue to make sure there's an LGB focus. :)

You're good! I mention it because I wanted to make sure others who saw the past post before it was removed understood why yours was staying up.

Making sure content is not only relevant to us, but also to outsiders looking in ... that's the biggest thing we need. It should be apparent why LGB are looking at this. You did, and thank you!
