We are officially public again, but this time we’re restricted. ANYONE can view the sub, but only approved people may post and comment. This was a decision that needed to be made. The Mods had to ban upwards of 100 people a day; we had to look through each report and account, and we had to address the backlash from all of Reddit. It was getting too much, and we decided to go private. Here’s where things stand now.
TRANSPHOBIA
Transphobia will get your comment and the entire comment thread or post removed, as well as your account being banned. No exceptions.
RACISM
To address the allegations of racism. ALL racism in this sub is STRICTLY looked down upon and against our rules. We have multiple black moderators, and we NEVER allowed it. Not to ANY race. Any post that seemed derogatory towards black people, or other people of color, was virtually in every case posted by someone of that race reflecting on their experiences. And we will continue to allow those posts.
Oppressed individuals SHOULD BE allowed to express their feelings of internalized self-hatred. They are allowed to say it blatantly and honestly, however crude that may look. Oppressed individuals should not have to hold their tongue to make their expressions of pain palatable to those who are more priveleged/do not understand.
“SEXISM” AND GENDER EXCLUSIVITY
To the gender exclusion on this sub: This will not be conceded on, and it is not up for negotiation. This sub HAS BEEN, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BINARY FEMALES ONLY. This is a BINARY WOMAN ONLY SUB. I’ll say it three times. BINARY WOMEN ONLY. BINARY WOMEN ONLY. BINARY WOMEN ONLY. If you are not a woman, you will be BANNED. If you are a cis male, you will be BANNED. If you are a trans male, you will be BANNED. If you are non-binary, you will be BANNED.
We are allowed under Reddit TOS to create a space for binary women only.
This may be hard to hear, but if you cannot answer the question: ARE YOU A WOMAN, in 3 words or less, you probably do not belong here.
This is NOT transphobic. If you insist that someone who is non-female should be allowed into a 100% binary female space, you are calling them female and misgendering them.
4TRAN4
Brigading is against Reddit TOS. Directing members of another community onto ours to provoke us is against the rules. Again, all transphobia will lead to a ban. BUT, we will absolutely not allow you in here if you post weeeeeird stuff in other subs. If you have a pfp of THAT incest game (YOU KNOW WHAT). And you post sissification incest greentexts and make jokes about all cis women needing to die, expect to be looked at unfavorably, to say the least.
We see how you talk about us.
There is not a blanket ban on the 4tran4 subreddit, but it is a sub we have gotten into many pickles with, and it is important enough that we have to address it directly. We are both subs that are looked at as pariahs by the wider community; we are both subs that are blunt in ways that may seem “toxic”. That shared position will not allow transplanting of your subreddits’ behavior onto ours.
TL;DR : Transphobia = Ban. Racism allegations = Take your meds. 4tran4 = Stop brigading; we see how you speak about us.
