Reddit - how come there's no gender critical sub ?

I like to go on Reddit for a bit of light reading. Some of the political discussion is less adversarial and people do agree to differ. What I've noticed is the rabid moderating of any even slightly GC view points. I got banned from one of the labour subs for stating the obvious in a very tactful way, no name calling, just that certain spaces should be for biological woman and that actually there's still discrimination against women pretty much everywhere. I said this once and that's it, I'm banned.
The site seems full of mainly youngish, fairly progressive straight guys falling over themselves to discuss how trans women are at risk of discrimination, abuse, death but cannot accept that women are too, even now. It's like you have to support one or the other. So much abuse at KS too for even daring to question the ideology and you'd think JKR was Eva Braun to hear the hatred. It's so illogical.

Pretty sure there was one but it got pulled.

What a shame. So much for free speech.

Too popular - got culled a while back.

There was one but it got removed

Whatsnewpussyhat · 24/02/2023 13:28

Because the mods are males who claim to be women.

Aposterhasnoname · 24/02/2023 13:29

Because a well known TRA used to be a mod and got it
pulled.

SeulementUneFois · 24/02/2023 13:29

There was one but it was banned.
I think some people went to ?overit (? Spelling).

HorribleNecktie · 24/02/2023 13:33

Because a large number of reddit moderators are transwomen. Such as the illustrious and not at all dodgy Aimee Challenor.

Walrussy · 24/02/2023 13:34

Most of the mods are trans or incels. Isn't Actuallesbians just a load of males by this point?

BertieBotts · 24/02/2023 13:36

There are a lot of TRAs in the predominant reddit subs.

Askwomenover30 is the most feminist sub now but even there they don't like gender critical views.

NotTerfNorCis · 24/02/2023 13:36

There used to be one. That forum and Mumsnet were the go-to places for gender critical feminists. But then the reddit forum got pulled - while others condoning misogyny and sexual violence stayed up.

HooverIsAlwaysBroken · 24/02/2023 13:39

I believe there is a degrading/pornographic subreddit where only pictures of biological women are allowed. Quite transphobic I think…

Yes, I've heard the few subs where you can specify 'biological women only' are the porn subs. Because it's not okay for women to be able to chat without men centring themselves, but God forbid a man having a wank should encounter the girl-dick.

Because it's Reddit.

Look at the causes of ROGD and Reddit will be one of them. Reddit is an echo-chamber and too many impressionable children have been indoctrinated into transhood due to that site.

I doubt anyone have ever received the answer "No" to the question "Am I trans?" on that site.

Kafkascat · 24/02/2023 13:50

Some much hyperbolic melodrama about wanting trans folk dead, exterminated etc
as soon as anyone suggests that JKR isn't transphobic for example.
It's like #bekind as long as you aren't one of those old fashioned types of biological women

I was on and quite active in the Gender Critical Reddit when I joined 2019 (2018?)
I think in a year or 2 it went from 300 women to 1000! It was fantastic. We discussed everything. I left when the TRA mods started to censor out speech.
It naturally was closed down because men are deathly afraid of women talking among themselves.
If we discover our power they are toast.

I believe it was close to 30,000 women when it was axed by the misogynists at Reddit — the forum Ovarit was created in response.

WarriorN · 24/02/2023 14:11

There's a small corner where posters comment on mumsnet threads that they think are trolls. The posters there seem to be GC but don't really discuss it much

Moonlightsonatas · 24/02/2023 14:13

Even the twoxchromosomes sub isn’t

Pandaparty · 24/02/2023 14:15

The Cormoran Strike bit seems to be fairly gender critical, and even the posters who aren't generally seem to be more 'live and let live' rather than 'You're causing trans genocide, you fucking bigot terf.'

DisappearingGirl · 24/02/2023 14:18

I believe there is a gender critical forum on Tattle?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 24/02/2023 14:22

I believe TRAs and their allies also took over r/pregnancy, r/pcos and r/periods at one point.

Wow that many! amazing. It was a great place, naturally men were freaking afraid we'd organize.

It was gaining loads of members per day. This was after JKR started speaking out more. The whole place was popping.

So naturally Reddit pulled it. And all other subs like it, and any attempts to recreate it. They got rid of certain LGB subs that wouldn't toe the line, either. There were even fights for ownership and control over the JKR sub, iirc. A main driver of all this was a sub dedicated to reporting "hate subs", where users encouraged the mass-reporting of subs they disliked to get them shut down. Allegedly they were also spamming these subs with illegal material, so that they could claim these so-called hate subs were posting illegal material and get them shut down more quickly.

Basically, anywhere there was dissent over gender ideology, anywhere women congregated to say no, Reddit shut it down.

Meanwhile, of course, Reddit's sick violent porn subs continue to flourish.

And that's why #RedditHatesWomen
