I've always found TERFs amusing in their naivety and self-centeredness. As feminists, they support every step of progressive egalitarianism that denies truth right up to the point where women are asked to make a concession to the broader ideology, and then oppose it but only on that point. Do they really think "transwomen are women" is the only anti-truth absurdity? Do they really expect to sign up with the progressive coalition, receive many ostensible benefits and give nothing in return?

There are many examples in history of eunuchs' political utility to an empire on shaky legs, I don't expect them to disappear anytime soon and neither should TERFs. The abundant dopamine to be had in participating in the next big civil rights push helps too. Speaking truth is great, but it's far from enough as many of us on the dissident right have learned over the years. TERFs are in for a wake up call. Do you go back to the progressive coalition where you must allow men to pretend to be women for the greater good in spite of the truth, or do you move in with the pro-free speech right where you might be forced to defend your progressive beliefs on non-trans issues? You might not be feminists for long in the latter case. Of course, you could always create your own website, but without the ability to evangelize that would dwindle in influence to nothingness. Serious movements don't take that tack.

Also LMAO @ the idea reddit banned GenderCritical for "hating women". Not everything is about you.

    If you want to be an echochamber that never gets opposing views then you're on the wrong website.

    The goal would be to avoid becoming an echo chamber that is dominated by opposing "views" (really dumbshit misogynist NPC scripts), to such an extent that the intended users of the subreddit, who are outnumbered, can't get a word in edgewise.

    If you're so vastly outnumbered them maybe your opinions are the ones that are "dumbshit NPC scripts"?

    That’s a good point. Majority opinions in a particular milieu are never thoughtless or wrong. If “muh pussy pedestal” or “muh white privilege” is the prevailing opinion it must be right.

    Are they the comments that the majority of users are posting? Show me.

    As I said in another comment, I'm brand new to saidit as of about five minutes ago so I can't speak to the substance of these comments. I'm just weighing in on principle from prior experience, and disagreeing with the idea that if you're vastly outnumbered, the people who outnumber you surely aren't NPCs...think about what you're saying.
