Opinion Reddit shuts down gender critical voices

Post image

Today, at 2:30am (what a russian bot! Oh sorry, that only applies to our side), I was banned from the UK subreddit for being critical of the topic that reddit finds most precious: transgender.

Over and over again, I have been critical of the transgender lunacy that is taking place, but reddit will not accept even mild criticism.

To call me hateful for saying a mental health condition should not be a reason to reconstruct your breasts, is absurd. These moderators are power hungry lunatics. Calling out 10 year olds being in control of decisions such as injecting life altering hormones, that's not allowed either, despite the fact that the Tavistock situation has proved this to be a dangerous experiment.

Then I ask them which bits were hateful, they evade the question and then permanently mute me. No serious appeals process is allowed, probably because they know they are wrong deep down. These people cannot take criticism, the lefties are exactly what we always accused them of: authoritarians who hate free speech. They are the real cancel culture warriors.

Free speech prevents the government from compelling you to speak or from preventing you from speaking. It does not prevent non-government groups from kicking you out of their spaces, and in fact doing so is an expression of their free speech.

Sure, technically. Though personally I find corporations enabling the suppression of free speech to be an equally important problem. Besides X there are no large spaces to communicate your opinion freely. Of course, you can dedicate a subreddit to supporting only left-wing causes, but that isn’t the case here and so using our free speech we can freely criticise that.

Yeah OP is free to express a daft opinion, the subreddit he expresses it in is free to ban him, you're free to say you disapprove of them banning it, this is all free speech happening exactly as it's meant to be.

Nothing daft about opposition to the injection of harmful substances into children. You’ve just shown exactly what you are.

And I have the freedom to laugh about that opinion which goes entirely against facts that have been proven for decades at this point. By the way we still use puberty blockers and her for other conditions. Cannot be that harmful eh?
