"Hi all,
We all know that it’s a rubbish time at the moment for trans and non-binary people in the UK and on TransgenderUK, we see posts daily highlighting this.
But we have also seen an increase in comments and posts which mention violence towards CIS people and TERFS to the extremes of talking about obtaining Firearms to target people who are against trans rights.
Any sort of promotion of violence or calling for it is completely unacceptable. There are many things we as mods can do, from banning the user from the subreddit, reporting the post ourselves to Reddit to investigate and also reporting posts or comments to the police ourselves.
This is supposed to be a place where we offer each other support, answer questions, share good news and much much more. It’s not a place for calling for violence for people disagreeing with Trans rights or Trans issues.
From today, any post or comment that promotes violence, talks about violence towards Cis people or TERFS or calls for it will lead to the user being banned from this subreddit.
Each post like this will be judged and a ban won’t be issued till at least another mod looks at the post to be fair. The ban will then be reviewed 7 days later by another mod to see if it stands or the person given another chance.
In terms of transparency, we will be posting a breakdown of bans from the subreddit issued each month and what for so the community can see what we are doing.
We know there will be questions so please do either comment on this post or use Modmail.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding
The Mod Team"

Maybe a memo has gone around and others will be encouraged to do the same, due to what Nauticant posted.

Perhaps the sub in question has been reported to Reddit for breaching the TOS & this is result of being told to sort out problematic content? If that is the case, bring told to get it together rather than the sub being banned = act of leniency, yes.

Reddit have banned every single women-only sub including the sub for women with PCOS.
They've encouraged violence against women as if we only exist as a computer game entity.
I don't see how this message that openly labels women as "terfs" does anything to convince me Reddit are somehow seeing the light. They aren't.

That's not "Reddit" it's the mods of one subreddit for trans people (with 30K readers.) The mods aren't official representatives of Reddit, they are site users who set up the subreddit or volunteered to help run it.

They must have been getting some really bad comments, because normally TRAs turn a blind eye to threats of violence from their own.

Yes exactly this - drilling down its just the mod in that particular sub.
Makes you wonder how bad it got before they decided to reign it in!

So if they are threatening terfs and cis, does that mean the only people who will be safe around them are other trans? I always thought we were supposed to say we are cis to show how much we have bought into their agenda.
