Why has the thread about the death of a yong transman been deleted?

Was reading a thread about the horrific death of a young transman following surgical complications. It is a hugely important story but has been removed. Can you explain why? If it is concerns about accuracy fair enough, but when young women die because they have been butchered attempting to create a body they may (or may not) be more comfortable with, this,we should be shouting about.

Hi there @Taytoface . Could you let us know where the thread was - and the thread title if you happen to remember it? There should have been a reason for deletion in the deletion message but if not, and we can track it down, we should be able to let you know.

Maybe because you wilfully misgendered him throughout?

Do you mean used the persons correct sex? That's allowed on the feminism board isn't it? We don't have to lie and go along with lies.

@HebeMumsnet
I hadn't commented on it yet but was going to. In my search history it's called 'transman dead at 24 from trans surgeries' Why can't it be discussed on the feminism board?

It was in naughty corner feminism, not sure of the title, but something about death of a young transman following surgery.

If you want to respect the young man's memory, don't refer to him as a woman. Hmm
