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 🤣

    The point is people are allowed to say something non politically correct and not be crucified for it.

      But they’re not being crucified. They’re just being either down voted, or in the case of being banned, well, that’s a website’s owner deciding they don’t want to see this on their private property.

      Just like you are free to on yours, BTW.

        “Crucified” was pretty obvious hyperbole…

        Also a website is not “private property” and mods aren’t “owners”.

          Also a website is not “private property”

          Oh? So if I run the website and pay for the servers and all, I can’t just shut it down? Not my choice?

            You definitely can’t shut down their server at your request 🤣

            You can cancel your service.

            That’s also not the definition of private property.
