A researcher has found that of the 16 moderators of Reddit's sub for lesbians, 11 of them were biologically male transwomen. The forum has now been closed down because too many women on there only wanted to date other biological women, and this was considered 'transphobic'

You missed a post with over 2.5K upvotes stating "just a reminder some lesbians have dicks!" just after the ban. It's a sub for "transbians" with some bi and pansexual women (and of course the "bisexual lesbians"...no it doesn't make sense, and no you're not allowed to question it) thrown in as their cheerleaders. Meanwhile, women born female who are exclusively attracted to other women born female are horrible bigoted terfs who must be cancelled online and punched offline

This is incredible. I don't have a problem with monosexual people also attracted to trans people who transitioned to that gender (ex: people only attracted to biological and trans women) but there should be made a clear distinction between the two and you definitely shouldn't feel forced to have sex with anyone, be it a person or a group of people. Why ban r/truelesbians ? What's wrong with having a separate subreddit for women only attracted to other women that were born women?

They say they don’t want anyone to not have “preferences” but they DO try and cast being a lesbian as mean, no matter what they say. They are like “well, no one is telling you you can’t have preferences.....but....maybe you should stop being a genital fetishist and terrible bigot and rethink it....”

You would assume that if someone is trans they would not want to have lesbians who are not into them in their sub and speaking about it loudly, but when the lesbians leave to make an exclusive lesbian sub that no one is forced to look at or go to, that is also a huge problem. It’s so dumb.

A woman is most at risk of male violence when she leaves or attempts to leave.

Not in a Reddit sub. She’s at risk of some loser being obsessed and stalking her though, which these TRA Reddit mods seem to love to do. Glad we are out of there.

oops sorry i wasn't my clear. guess i was sort of musing out loud.

The real lesbians aren't being treated well in a group which is supposedly for lesbians but has transwomen moderators. So the lesbians leave. Which makes the transwomen FURIOUS in the exact same way that an abuser becomes furious when his property leaves. It's the exact same dynamic. "How dare you leave me, now i will stalk you and do whatever I can to harm you".

I expect quite a lot of transwomen to come to saidit in order to harass lesbians, I expect that to not go how they want, and i expect them to have MAJOR meltdowns irl
