Question to RadFems: was there good reason for banning the GC sub-reddit? Like threats, doxxing, etc. from GC users. Or was it all internal reddit politics and simply not bowing to the transgender movement that got GC banned?

Think it was politics. Was active in that sub in the last few months and did not see evidence of threats or doxing. This was at a similar time LGBDroptheT and GCDebatesQT went.

Yeah, our small debate sub got hit in the second banwave for "hate speech." We had tons of trans posters, two trans women moderators, and strict rules against misgendering, slurs, and other dehumanizing language.

None of it was enough. Reddit just didn't want to allow the discussions to take place. By the way, we've regrouped here if anyone wants to join us: s/GCDebatesQT

I started lurking on r/GenderCritical when it had about 5000 subscribers, so maybe around 2017 or 2016. It was women talking about the erosion of women's rights, women's spaces and women's sports due to gender ideology (that's what I call it).

r/GenderCritical was possibly one of the most sane and polite places on Reddit. There were differences of opinion but the mods were very strict and also very strict that it didn't become a I Hate Trans sub. There was zero reason to ban it.
