This refers to the thread about an abuser in Canada which was moved, but has happened with other similar posts to the feminist boards. I imagine that everyone here has concerns , not just feminists.

@NotBadConsidering

Again, this thread is not about “gender critical” views being spread, it’s about being able to raise safeguarding concerns for wider discussion. You do love your tangents.
Oh come off it. 😂 It's just more GC stuff dressed up as 'safeguarding concerns'. That's one of the most commonly heard arguments around self ID/GC/trans threads.

I'm not saying you're wrong but let's call a spade a spade.

So you think safeguarding threads about tv personalities should go in Telly Addicts as suggested? Harvey Weinstein only discussed in the Film section?

You need to explain why you think threads about safeguarding involving a trans person should be corralled into their own section but threads about safeguarding involving others can stay in AIBU. What’s your motivation?

I've already explained.

No you haven’t. You’ve explained that you think if we talk about safeguarding and it happens to be about a trans person, such threads might “take over” AIBU. This is hyperbole for a start, and there’s no explanation for why you have taken such a hyperbolic view of anything “gender critical” being discussed widely. What motivates you to take such a hyperbolic view and try and shift such important conversations to a place less seen? According to the vote, you’re in a tiny minority.

Well, I agree seeing a news story might tip one into being GC.
But most of the public are GC. They just don't realise material reality needs a label.
So yes, a thread might lead someone to realise they are GC. What's the big whoop?

It’s just been announced a Premier League footballer has been arrested on paedophilia charges. Hopefully any thread about it gets posted in Sport Hmm.

Unless it's one of the ones that wears a hairband. Then it'll get whisked to the naughty corner.
