They actually did close it at one point and the outrage got so bad they reluctantly reopened it. It’s an island of sanity in the Reddit sea of madness. I will not be surprised if it’s eventually shut down permanently though. As the trans ideology falls further out of public favor they will get more and more desperate and defensive, like a wounded animal.

Wow, I don't know of any other sub being re-opened after being banned.

If i remember correctly, they got banned at the same time they banned all the gender critical and radfem subs. Somehow they caved in to the backlash on that particular sub. Perhaps there was a particular admin who wanted to remove all wrongthink and tried to sneak that extra ban through but they got caught and had to undo it. I have a hard time believing that if all the admins came together and agreed to ban detrans that they would suddenly change their minds because people complained.

Bardfinn has had a persistent hateboner for it and has wanted to take it over or some such yeah.

The argument that I believed worked was that banning r/detrans was transphobic because it was an issue inherently rooted in the transgender community.

As the trans ideology falls further out of public favor

I used up my 'junk media quotient' by watching a Jubilee video on YouTube yesterday. It was this one : 5 Feminists vs 1 Secret Antifeminist.... The format of the video is that you have a group of feminists but there's (supposedly) one mole in the group who is trying to pass as that identity and after discussion rounds people are progressively voted out (to eliminate the mole). Anyway, of course there was a militant 'trans' activist in the group and she spouted all the usual ideology. One woman pushed ever so slightly back, talking about her reservations about biological males being able to compete against biological females (but she put it much more mildly). For her trouble, she was then voted out the next round (because of course all dissent must be immediately silenced).

So far, so predictable. However what I didn't predict was the strong show of sympathy for this contestant (I think her name was Emma) in the comments. Most of the top comments were supportive of her, and pointed out, quite legitimately, how stupid it was to fail her as a feminist for voicing her reservations on this point. So yeah, this is a longwinded way of saying I think the tide is turning, as sensible people realised that it must turn, but it's perhaps happening more quickly than I'd realised.

Yeah it went offline during the June (?) 2020 crazies when they banned gencrit and gcdebatesqt, etc.

Are we talking bottom surgery or suicide attempts?
