Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

Are you a lesbian who finds trans women attractive? Well then you're bisexual and you are no longer to be part of the lesbian association you were in.

One of the groups bringing the case was a lesbian association. I can’t imagine why.

That are the bad lesbians that people shouldn’t listen to. They need to listen to Reddit lesbian communities… the ones that kicked IRL biological women from their communities because they were TERFS.

I found this banger thread before, from a subreddit called R/Actual lesbians, which somewhat predictably featured lots of men

Moderating is a tough job. Keeping posts clean from extreme hate requires lots of staff who can do things quickly and consistently. We don’t have a ton of active staff right now, and so we’ve been needing to lock some posts when there’s a huge influx of hate comments, and brigading from terfs. We are always looking for experienced moderators who will help keep our community safe!

I recognize that we have not been very transparent about the locking of posts. I personally am not a mod who does that often, but I think it is an important tool that we use sometimes. When I see locked posts in the future, or personally decide to lock one, I will try to give some context on why we did so.

The entire mod team is fully committed to keeping this space safe for trans members of our community. I myself am trans, and other staff members are as well. We are not doing everything correct, but we are working diligently to make sure people feel safe here. You can help by reporting comments and posts, and we will ban them as fast as we can!

Trans women are women. TERFs and transphobes will never be welcome in this subreddit. Thank you all for being part of this community.

As I’ve said elsewhere, I think you need to do two things:

1: Open up mod applications

2: Shut the discourse down. Institute a ban on new posts about genital preference. Don’t just lock the posts, delete them.

We do indeed get rid of a lot of “genital preference” posts, but we keep ones up where there is an actual substantive issue, like someone is looking for advice, or talking about the drama in a meta sense, or advocating for trans people.

I am trans myself. I see many posts here, and delete them, that have made me feel horrible. But I’m trying to do my best to foster a community where people feel safe, while also keeping up genuine dialogue where people need help. We don’t always get things right, but we are trying.

Thank you for trying to keep us welcome. TERFs seriously need Saint Celestine.

Apparently Saint Celestine is from warhammer, as if this thread couldn't be any harder to distinguish from parody
