I am more and more feeling as if I do not really care what these clowns are planning, as if we needed their permission to speak or have a GenderCritical sub, like it's some trademark they own. There will be a free speech alternative of that sub and none of the mods who supported any of those idiotic rules will be present, as mods. They can join the sub, but by then they might prefer to stay in their hug box. Their hug box will die, the free speech version will thrive. Their censored version will be devoid of intelligent input, the free speech version will have insightful debate.

You cannot have a community of women. Every attempt to try to divine who is female or not will need to be based on the positions they hold. So you are not enforcing rules on gender, you are inevitably enforcing rules based on opinion. Any of those opinions could also be held by a woman, or you think that women are incapable of holding certain opinions or thinking a certain way.

You are a bunch of hypocrites. Come out and say you are enforcing a party line. At least then you are honest. All these rationales you present -- absolute bullshit, euphemism, sleight of hand. What the fuck does it mean for an opinion to be "high on the pyramid of debate"? As if that is going to be an objective criterion. No, you will censor people who disagree with you, you will kick out people you do not like. It's bad enough that you want to do this on one of the few free speech platforms out there right now, but at least stop your fucking lies, you god damn hypocrites.

What is a "SavvyDiogenes", by the way? Is that some form of narcissism, the way you with the trans people you criticize? You do not sound savvy at all and your takes are absolutely moronic. You are everything wrong with the people you criticize. But you're so full of shit that you can't see yourself in the mirror. What a philosopher you are, truly.

Man, I have so much contempt for people like those, but at least here I can freely say that.

If you really think that the "free speech" version on an obscure reddit clone will survive, then you're delusional, end of. You're here to yell in the void, like the rest of us. That's why free speech is even possible here in the first place - because this site holds no potential of having an impact. Is that sad? Absolutely, but it's true - let's not delude ourselves here.

You cannot have a community of women. Every attempt to try to divine who is female or not will need to be based on the positions they hold.

It's fucking rich that you even think you can speak about Gender Critical when you seem to miss the literal main point of it all - there is no way to be a woman except being of the female sex, and an adult. There is no behaviour, no opinion, no nothing that makes you female except being born female. And that is why gender in itself is bullshit. There is no way to "divine the female" - it is a biological category.

What the fuck does it mean for an opinion to be "high on the pyramid of debate"?

It's the literal rules of saidit, idiot. You keep parroting about how great this site is for free speech when you seem to not have even read the rules. This pyramid of debate thing isn't our invention, you genius - take that to magnora if you don't like the rule.

If you don't see the point in choosing the name of someone who is considered the father of cynicism for an alt, the same person who'd hold a lamp in broad daylight on the streets of Athens to look for an honest man, then you're hopeless. It's not some attempt at self-aggrandizing, it's a tongue-in-cheek name meant to be over the top and ridiculous, and hinting towards cynicism (oh as if i could have made that any more obvious). But it seems like you can only see things literally, with no regards to nuance - no wonder you literally named yourself Screwtape. Should I take that name literally, too?

You are a bunch of hypocrites. Come out and say you are enforcing a party line. At least then you are honest.

What party line? Elaborate - what, you think we are in bed with the ultra leftist marxists that would love to swing bats in our faces, or with the right wing nationalists that would enjoy locking the whole female sex in the kitchen and taking away any bodily autonomy we have left? Come on, I'm curious as to what ridiculous bullshit you'll pull out of your mouth this time.
