Not me, but if you’ve been following the drama, they removed this post about the unique issues we face as “divisive.”
It fucking sucks. There’s been a lot of discussion in other trans masc spaces about “transandrophobia” and this seems to absolutely demonstrate it. We aren’t treated seriously in spaces that should be welcoming for us.
People assume “trans” means trans woman. Spaces for trans people are often for trans women. Jamison Green wrote a while back about us not really having our own community, decades ago, and it still feels true today.
I was ban on reddit from r/bicycling for posting about brand reliability and quality scopes when I was a buyer for a chain of bike shops for years. The mod was a deeply narcissistic cop IRL. Moderation has a tendency to attract narcissists and that is the key underlying issue. If admin fail to remove the narcissistic fools, it causes a lot of real world harm. As a mod myself, I am a janitor. I do not matter. I do not micromanage. The community flags are my primary means of action. When a flag is made, I sort through it and give the benefit of the doubt in all possible cases. You have a right to a bad day and to be wrong, but if someone makes some HRT comment negatively, I will absolutely crush that bug. A good mod is invisible and serves the community without egotism. That is not the case on reddit in many communities and there are no effective measures taken to remedy the problem. It hurts a lot of good people.
