Hello there! I too am new.

I thought I was flexible on that issue until I raised questions about trans women in sports on r/twoxchromosomes and got an instant ban because of it.

Guess I'm a trump supporting right-wing fundamentalist nazi after all.

Trans women competing with biological women is one of my main issues with the trans thing.

I used to be for trans rights but the way silence anyone who questions them or disagrees had soured me to their whole plight. People need to be able to ask questions. People need to be able to say their piece. If their ideology had any merit they would have debates people who disagree instead of trying to label them as bigots or nazis.

Well that's not going to work for them in cases where they are flat-out wrong, so bans work better.
