"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"
