I just wish the cis GC folk would stop downvoting gender affirming people who post here. Ever since the ban, GA detrans folk who have been posting here for months and months have been downvoted en masse when that wasn’t the case before.

Detrans people should be able to freely express ourselves here without the fear of being silenced or argued with.

In one of the threads yesterday, there was a detrans person (with a long post history here) being told that they should maybe not post here if they couldn’t grow tougher skin by an individual who had never posted here before and who clearly came to this subreddit because of the ban. That’s not okay.

I just hope people don’t try to use this subreddit to push their own agendas now that GC has been banned.

There’s a lot of GC people who have always flooded this sub and tried to speak for people who are detrans and I’ve never been a fan of it.

I detransitioned because it wasn’t right for me, not because I wanted to push an agenda against people who were happy to transition.

Something similar happened to me. I came out as trans (FTM) in high school. Then one day in college, I didn’t feel dysphoric anymore.

Idk what happened. I don’t know if I’m necessarily cis or what (maybe genderqueer or genderfluid? Idk how to even define it) but it doesn’t bother me anymore. I dress how I want, act how I want, and don’t care what anyone thinks about it. I’m comfortable with my body and who I am.

Because the context of the comment was in response to a question asked if detrans people felt safe to post here given the high amount of GC non trans folk on this subreddit.

The detrans person said they sometimes felt uncomfortable here and then another person chimed in telling them that maybe they shouldn’t browse here (or anywhere online) if they felt that way.

I remember that you were one of the detrans posters who was downvoted yesterday for speaking about this and I’m sorry it happened. You should be allowed to express your opinion as a detrans person without outsiders trying to shut you down. If we can’t freely speak here, then what’s the point of even having a detrans subreddit?

I’m one of the gender-affirming detransitioners and I don’t think we should leave Reddit (or we should keep this subreddit alive and have a discoed or something at the same time). I like having a place where we can talk about detrans issues.

What I don’t like is how this subreddit is brigaded by groups on both sides of the issue who try to push their own agendas.

Like, I respect if a detrans person here has gendercritical views because they can speak from their own personal experiences. But when cis groups or pro-trans groups come here, it feels like they are trying to argue past us and over us instead of listening.

I feel that way. I'm honestly hesitant to post a lot here because of it.

And it's not detrans GC people I'm afraid of, it's the cis GC people who like to argue and speak over and past detrans folk. You can look at the other threads on this sub that were posted yesterday about the bannings and 'allies' are being upvoted while genuine detrans voices are being downvoted.

Just to add, I don't like it when pro-trans groups come here either. I just feel that this subreddit should be for detrans folks and we should feel like we can safely discuss without interference from outside groups.

I don't like censorship of any kind. But I also don't think that cis GC people should use this subreddit as a soapbox.

If you're detrans and GC, then that 100% should be allowed here because you're speaking from a detrans POV.

I feel the same about pro-trans individuals who come here as well.

But if you look around this thread and the subreddit, 'allies' are being upvoted and listened to more than actual detrans individuals. It's clear that the subreddit has already been brigaded as a result of the bannings.
