In what way were you censored at GC? What sort of opinion did you express that you feel should have been heard by the GC community?

From what I understand...

She was spouting communist and anti semitic dogma.

As I said above, abuse tactics, deny, reframe, attack.

I don't think GC should have been silently and un-transparently removing content from women (not just me, and not just from a perspective at all similar to mine). Like I said, I think it's done to control the narratives of the women reading and participating. Women who come to GC look at the rules of the forum and think that's the way things are being moderated there. And when moderation is not done in accordance with the rules, that creates a false appearance of organic consensus. When what's really happening is opposing and even just alternative viewpoints are simply being silently removed, leaving only the official narrative. It's not that I think that "the GC community should have heard me," it's that I think the GC moderators should have been honest about what relevant perspectives they were hiding from participating women (either don't hide them, or update the rules/sidebar to be honest about which viewpoints/narratives they were imposing on all participating women).
