The problem with most gay subreddits is that they have at least one TRA or TRA-sympathetic mod. Gaybros has one, as do AskGayMen and AskGaybrosOver30.

All you need is one TRA mod with the power to ban users or remove content, and it changes the whole tone. People fall into line to avoid conflict.

Exactly. Brian_Kinney, DCLawdude, etc. If you even hint at the fact that you don't consider FTMs gay men or PiV sex gay sex, bam banned. And you don't get a jury of your peers to appeal that ban to, the decision is taken by one single asshole and that's that.

    We can say “Trans Identified Male/Female” but abbreviating that exact phrase isn’t allowed? Seems silly.

    Agreed.

    The fuck's a "trans natal (fe)male"?

    Do you happen to remember that person's username? I'm curious.
