The Women’s Liberation subreddit has been banned and deleted. I suppose it was only a matter of time. The fourth wave women sub is clinging on but who knows for how long.

Banned subs aren't allowed to be resurrected under another time.

Since r/gendercritical was banned for hate, that means no one is allowed to make another sub that's all about being gender critical and give the sub a different name.

There are a number of popular feminist/women's rights subs on Reddit, but they aren't about trans people.

Wasn't r/ gendercritical deleted by that Challenor person before he got moved on yet again?

Apparently so but I can't view it as it is a sub that requires age verification

Well that's ok then...

That mod writes, 'Reddit has never protected these women'.

Plus ca change, plus ca meme bloody chose.

I hope that one day a few TRAs will come to realise just how much they have radicalised women. I used to be very easy-going about all sorts of things, blithely confident that women were on the cusp of equality.

After all the absolute bullshit of the past decade, the kids' bodies destroyed, the patronising twattery from the trans lobby, the brigading, the loss of women's spaces, the intrusion of men into women's sports and women's prisons, the women who have lost their jobs, or been obliged to see knob in the spa or the changing rooms when they really didn't want to, and the absolutely pathetic subservient rolling-over by the police, the entire political class up to and including the government, the NHS, the unions, the WI, the sodding universities (bastions of free speech my arse) I am miserably convinced that it will be decades, if not centuries, before we can finally kiss goodbye to our support human status. And it's made me absolutely sodding furious. I'm not up for compromise any longer, when once I was.

So little smug guy up the thread, rubbing your hands together with glee at gagging women who have entirely valid concerns, rest assured that you have achieved more than you ever intended.

Well fucking done.

You and your ilk are nasty hypocrites Chris. Your mates spout such misogynistic, bitter, bitchy and plain nasty comments about women and these posts still stand. The mods are ok with this presumably? "Shit-talk" is ok as long as it flows one way- towards women.
Jealousy is not a nice trait

Twas ever thus. Tiny little male egos can only feel the status they think they are entitled to if women are forcibly shut up from giving our own perspectives on the matter.

They have to silence us because they know we can break their facade with an honest word.

The "I'm a woman" facade is no different to the "God made me your master" facade or the "I'm the rational sex" facade. It only works if women can't point out we can belie these little men's claims based simply on our own experiences.

This was the final post before the subreddit was banned. For context, r/AgainstHateSubreddits is run by transvestite and woman-hater Bardfinn, who is obsessed with destroying any conversational spaces which reject gender ideological beliefs.

He seems to have his photo and other info posted over X at the moment. Not someone I’d want to meet in the Ladies loos!

It must be so surprising to be losing every case that comes to court @Christinapple . How's refining your arguments in an echo chamber going mate? Keep spouting your sh1t but in the real world we are putting you and your ilk back in your box. That's what counts. Sad times eh?

Don't worry it just took a few mins and seeing the notifications coming in later that the users (and later the sub) were wiped from the face of Reddit was worth it. I helped make Reddit a less hateful place.

"being able to discuss matters that actually affected us"

What you mean is you are upset reddit isn't providing you with a space to shit-talk trans people?

I have seen other r/gendercritical resurrection attempts on reddit, some subs pretending to be about "lesbian rights", that have appeared on reddit and then get banned, and every single post on there is just hate towards trans people. The most common posts are hateful implications that every trans person is a sex offender/potential sex offender, posts with a strange fixation on toilets or sick "jokes" about suicide. The usual "tropes".

I do like it when such subs appear and I can take a look before they get banned. It means a lot of homophobes and transphobes in one place so I can report them all in just a few minutes (hate and threats are against the rules on reddit) then watch my notifications that come over the next few days letting me know the users were getting temp or perma bans.

I reckon anti slavery meetings probably included a fair bit of shit talking about slave masters.

I reckon when a group of people literally demand you subjugate your own self knowledge, your own understanding of your own experiences, your legal rights, your understanding of your own history and how it relates to those experiences and rights, even your own claim on your own name, in favour of an identity they want to impose on you, shit talking is a reasonable, even mild, response.

Let’s ignore the plopper.

I feel for the moderator of women’s lib. She posted this on the moderator support forum but clearly don’t get any help.

I sometimes post on Trans Reddit UK. See if you can find me 😁

sickofsixseven · 26/02/2026 18:21

Lol we have perpetually online reddit incel out in the wild. Oh the thrill of those notifications coming in to say you got yet another woman banned 😄 Could you be anymore of a stereotype?

meanwhile, in the real world, most people are "gender critical", aka they dont actually believe that men can become women. No wonder they are so protective of their little echo chamber. I have no idea how these people actually function in life if they can't tolerate any difference of opinion, however minor. Must be so exhausting. Anyway, you are losing, even young people are sick of the gender nonsense at this stage. Attempting to stifle any debate doesnt work. Cry and report more I guess. That will definitely help.

If you've seen anything there that you believe is against Reddit's TOS on threats or stirring up hatred then do make a report.

Reddit also has rules on false reports being used to harass users so you can't just report trans people or allies for being trans or an ally.

No, that's ok, thanks. I don't want to impede the little boys club going on there.
Besides, it's actually more helpful to #letthemspeak.

MyAmpleSheep · 26/02/2026 17:06

This is beyond eye-watering and past falling-off-the-chair levels of hypocrisy, given the levels of shit talking about anyone remotely GC in the trans reddit sub.

Reddit moderators see no issue with the existence of subs such as r/womenarethings

Reddit moderators were very keen to silence any mention of their employment of Aimee Challenor

Reddit moderation is misogyny in action, it's hardly surprising it's lauded by the sort of creepy weirdos who get excited about having women banned for wrongthink

Reddit is ridiculous. I was banned for hate speech because someone said that no one at all would benefit if men were banned from women's sports in the Olympics, and I replied that actually it would be good for women and girls who had worked hard to get where they were, because it would make competitions fair.

That's literally all I said, and they claimed it was hate speech!

Don't stop doing it though. Reasonable voices need to be heard
