Okay, I can see your point and the viewpoint you yourself are coming from and speaking from this position on. I'm going to say here and now that both sides have their issues, but this sub was more than likely not for that explicit purpose of simply criticising transgender people and the language used to do such judging by the ban and the ban put on other threads. There are still ways to make an active difference, Reddit isn't the only one way that this can be discussed or to make an active difference in the world.
But that is what r/GenderCritical was about, at its core. They are radical feminists who support the abolition of gender, and believe women are oppressed for their biological sex, and should be liberated on that basis. Hence, they object to any attempts to obscure that goal, including the use of gendered pronouns divorced from biological sex, or trans-inclusive language that erases the concept of biological sex, and in particular, biological female-ness from everyday lingo. That's not hateful, and it sounds based on your post that you agree that that's not an inherently hateful, bigoted, or transphobic worldview for people to have. It's a fair, reasonable position to take, and whether you or I agree with it at the end of the day, it certainly doesn't warrant or necessitate a total ejection from Reddit and the elimination of the online platform at issue.

If you didn't know, now you know; so will you now create a thread in moderation asking for that rule to change?

I criticised it pretty vocally back when that rule was put in place, I criticised the deletion of the person who was the catalyst for that rule. I'm pretty sure I was about 16 at the time though.
This isn't an issue you can play the consistency game with me and win on. I don't support the removal of any viewpoints, so long as there are people who wish to express them.

Just treating transpeople as mentally ill at best and legislating the attack helicopter meme as a rationale for denying gender recognition and associated rights. Denying transwomen access to abuse shelters or restrooms on the assumption that the point of them transitioning is to gain easy sexual access to women?

It took me a bit to get where you were coming from, and how the post itself was worded. I was never on r/GenderCritical, I can only take your word and the word of news outlets at face value. I can't speak for what it was like from a personal standpoint, and you know, looking back it wasn't appropriate for me to attempt to. It is a fair position to take, you're right. Reddit itself does not care however, they only care for the money. They will only ever care for money and for people to use their site. So push back and boycott their site in your own way. Make a Discord server for it, make anything for it to make a difference. I'd be willing to help you with such even, if you want to send me a TG on it and start a Discord server or whatever for people to debate this issue without the chance of the site in charge smacking it away cause it'd be profitable to do so.

Like Bear and I have pointed out earlier in this thread: It's not. About. Politics. It's never been about politics. If Max Barry wanted to make money off this site and silence anyone he didn't agree with, what would you people do?
I would simply abolish capitalism and private property.Nothing, because it is his private organization and he can do whatever he wants to do with it. Corporations like Reddit only care for the money, and they're entirely fine with you complaining about politics to keep the attention off of them and continue to use their site.
Yep. It benefits capital for us to wage our culture wars among ourselves rather than recognise that they are the problem and we could take their power away from them. Whether it's trivial nonsense like people arguing about which console is better or actually important shit like trans rights.

Yuppppp and? So is NS, arguably, so are a host of other sites. People getting outraged about private social media platforms dictating how they want their site/platform to look baffles me, not only because they're within their right to, but because there are far bigger things to get pissed about on a day to day basis.

No worries, and thanks for the kind offer, and for being so reasonable. The people on r/GenderCritical have migrated onto saidit, where I expect their site will prosper. All I'm trying to do is raise awareness about how unreasonable Reddit's application of its latest policy has been, and the unpredictable and capricious outcomes that policy has produced, and r/GenderCritical is just an example or illustration of that caprice.

Well I appreciate you for patiently making your point again and again. Continue making strides against sites like Reddit and the larger corporations. They'll lovingly make sure we kill eachother arguing over human rights if they get to have people using their site and making money.

So you may as well get rid of reddit. I'm subscribed to the new York giants subreddit, is that an evil anti-eagles echo chamber, or are the people there just correct?

It's an evil anti-Eagles echo chamber that's plotting on the utter destruction of the New York Giants!

And I don't mean this as a personal criticism of you, obviously none of us would be on this website if we didn't like arguing. My point is that the intellectual or philosophical validity of your beliefs is entirely beside the point. TERFs weren't allowed to have a subreddit in the first instance because your beliefs are sufficiently valid to be worthy of debate in the free marketplace of ideas, and you haven't had your subreddit deleted because Reddit thinks your beliefs are invalid. Reddit has only ever cared about making money. There was money in advertising to you. Now there's money giving you the boot. The problem for you is not, as you seem to believe, that your enemies have suborned Reddit with their duplicitous and underhanded tactics, the problem for you is capitalism. You don't get your rational online discourse because of capitalism.
Well they are relevant, because Reddit's basis for kicking r/GenderCritical off its site is violating its 'Remember the Human' policies, in other words, accusing the subreddit of dehumanising a vulnerable community, or posts that "promote hate based on identity or vulnerability", and I'm here questioning that assessment, scrutinising the view that radical feminism and women's liberation, based on sex rather than gender, is somehow an inherently hateful or bigoted thing to believe, worthy of being deemed dehumanising in the eyes of Reddit.

You don't need to destroy the new York giants, the new York giants do that for you.

The argument isn't whether gender critical ideology hates trans people, that's irrelevant. The argument is whether it should be banned from online platforms.
I don't think I can argue in good faith that anything should be unbanned if it's been banned on hate grounds if I don't also argue that things I disagree with that have been banned on hate grounds should also be unbanned. Folding to mob mentality, like online platforms have recently been doing is what I'm against, I don't really support the groups that have been banned but you're pretty hypocritical if you support the right of one to speak and not all.
We are not allowed to debate the ethics of zoophilia on NSG. If you didn't know, now you know; so will you now create a thread in moderation asking for that rule to change? Since it would be pretty hypocritical if you support the right of one to speak and not all?
