Wow...it literally says in the rules they remove opposing opinions. Just...wow.

There is a separate debate space for that: s/gcdebatesqt

Right. Because 'welcome' means 'go away'. We'll be 'Critical of Gender' someplace else. Someplace that doesn't ban people for their opinions or contributions. Preferably someplace that doesn't try to corral you into a side forum, and isn't ran by radical feminist that think being critical of genders means 'safe space for woman, specifically lesbians.'

Fairly certain that s/debatealtright/ would not recoil in fear of such topics, in fact, I'm certain they would welcome the debate.

I personally don't feel great about excluding actual honest debate from the main GC sub, but it was absolutely a problem on Reddit when uninformed newcomers would post the same tired arguments & talking points, and derail the sub to focus on "whataboutism", men's problems or trans problems, etc.

I don't think it's a question of being above criticism, but it is a question of numbers. When you're in the minority, you have to put up some walls.
