I’m a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have “transitioned” still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the “dead names” of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! 😱

I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world “mod” in the title and I mentioned a specific community 🤣

    It’s not really any better here, you are already being mass downvoted for this valid criticism

    Censorship here is worse than reddit I think even, I ragequit deleted my lemmy account a whille ago and I’m only back because I can’t use reddit. Lol. I will probably just evade the ban after my ISP gives me a new ip

      I was just permanbanned from BWA because I dared to make a joke comment saying “as a man I appreciate the change” when a woman said she switched from jeans to yoga pants as her daily wear 😂

      Valid criticism? Using deadnames and putting “transitioned” sure ok.

      Also hard to say they are being censored when you know, downvotes aren’t censorship. You might be anle to say what you want but that has consequences. Kinda sounds a little like op might have earned their ‘downvotes to oblivion’ or whatever

        God forbid people use technical/biological terms that have been in use for decades! Oh the horror 😱 People seriously need to get a fucking grip if they can’t handle the word “transitioned” or referring to a third person as their dead name.

          Now you’re just being disingenuous. Its not because you used transitioned, you used “transitioned”, and calling people by… their deadname? Come on, take the L and admit you don’t care about or respect trans people.

        Oh by censorship I mean the amount of mild comments I had removed on my old account here
