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?

Nope.

I posted there regularly. The mods were super in top of offensive terms like 'tranny', no doxxing, no threats of violence.. nothing. All very quiet and fact based.

Basically the trans mods there wanted us gone, because of the increasing number of subscribers. People were reading what we said. Couldn't have that.

We had the bad taste to post a LOT of data they didn't want the public to see, regarding offending behaviour, personal experiences and so on. How most of them were intact males, they never had childhood GD, most were heterosexual etc.

It also had debunks of things like claims for high child suicide rate and victimsation rate.

Basically proved all their claims were bullshit.

Agreed. I was a male lurking on and occasionally commenting on GC, and for all the reasons you state, GC had become the prize target for TRAs. It was the one subreddit above all others that they wanted GONE, particularly because it had done such a good job of debunking and showing the logical contradictions in TRA arguments. Its very existence infuriated them. The TRAs were very much involved in Reddit's policy shift.

One of the stories they documented was how a transwoman went into a workshop for pregnant women and made all the women there uncomfortable, getting creepily familiar with them. And the woman running the workshop was afraid to do anything about it for fear of being called 'transphobic' and getting fired.

Yep, I remember that one.

Apparently they are encouraged to do it, it's called "colonisation".
