Is it just me, or are more Redditors becoming 'TERFY'? I've noticed these sentiments on multiple subreddits now, and it seems they're not being countered the way they used to be.

TrueOffMyChest gets a lot of its readers in people who were banned from OffMyChest, which is very woke. There's a bit of filter happening where those who end up on TOMC are more likely to have unsanctioned opinions.

I think the TERFiness is spreading, though. In part it's due to trans people themselves. Their constant demands, censorship, cancellations, etc. are being noticed by regular people and it's having the opposite-to-intended effect. More people are peaking.

They're so delusional that they don't even see that they're turning their allies against them.

Same. But still I am supportive of genuine trans people. I am just much more aware of the situation that not all people with trans in their bio are trans in the way I thought - after long psychiatric screening and diagnosis - how naive of me.

I think there is also some self-selection because people quickly learn what they can and cannot say on the "main" subreddits. Some people learn by watching others receive downvotes and a pile-on in the comments and others learn by trial and error by unwittingly mentioning the unmentionable and being hit by the banhammer. In any case, once you find yourself on the other side of that line for one of the unmentionables (i.e. contravening reddit's go-to mantras taken as gospel) then you are more likely to start the questioning process in other areas. Peaking on an issue is kind of a never-ending process that forces you to constantly re-calibrate. There's always more. And having the veil lifted really stays with you.
