The discrepancy between gay male and lesbian subreddits and how they demonstrate that “transwomen” are not women

I did a Reddit search today for “genital preference” and happened upon a post in r/askgaybros that rightfully denounced such a term as being homophobic, noting that the groups most frequently targeted by such rhetoric were gay men and lesbians.  The post is over twenty days old and has managed to remain up.  The hundreds of comments were overwhelmingly in agreement that such terminology is harmful to the gay community and that trans ideology has pushed boundaries and alienated a great number of people who likely once supported them.  The interspersed pro-trans comments were downvoted.

None of this surprised me, of course.  It’s no secret that subreddits intended for gay men are allowed to remain just that*, while subreddits intended for lesbian women are militantly inclusive of heterosexual males who call themselves lesbians, and exclusive of homosexual females who are vocal about their strictly same-sex attraction.

*officially gay male subs are supposed to be inclusive as well, but that rule is rarely enforced and gender critical views are tolerated.

While subs for gay men are allowed to have trans-critical posts, subs for lesbians (or just females in general) that disallow males or that speak critically of gender ideology wind up either banned outright or commandeered by larping males, their handmaidens, and/or women who go along with the demands for “inclusivity” simply because they don’t want to see the sub get nuked.  It’s worth noting that the latter capitulation is a common form of self-preservation for females in the face of male ire.

While gender critical content on subreddits for gay males, like r/askgaybros, always garners a few token downvotes and wee miffed transmen in the comments, the material is pretty consistently lauded and is very rarely, if ever, removed.  In contrast, post something gender critical on r/actuallesbians, r/lesbianactually, r/flexinlesbians, r/lesbianfashionadvice, r/women, r/askwomen, r/twoxchromosomes, or even r/pcos, and your content will be deleted and you will be immediately permabanned from the sub.  Lesbians have even been banned from such subs for disapproving of photos that display very obvious, and intentional, outlines of male genitalia.  That’s right - voicing opposition to what is technically online sexual harassment is a bannable offense if you’re a lesbian.

While it’s indeed frustrating that gay males are allowed to keep their subreddits for gay males while females are forced to submit to males in dresses and dick prints in spandex, we shouldn’t hold it against them, especially since, in their gender critical posts, they almost always mention the fact that lesbian subs have it far worse, as they have been completely overrun.

Personally, I’m grateful that such a disparity exists, as it’s a wonderful demonstration that “transwomen” are not, in fact, women, but are males who feel sexually entitled to women and will use male tactics like colonization, dominance, and usurpation to get what they want.  If they can’t invade our bodies they invade our spaces.  They take our words.  They redefine us out of existence.  Similarly, the fact that “transmen” have not dominated gay male subreddits is proof that they are not men, but women.

The demographics of the spaces being overrun/not overrun and the people invading/not invading are no mere coincidence.  By reacting with fury, entitlement, invasion, and colonization to female desires to keep female spaces female, “transwomen” are doing nothing except showing their maleness.  They’re proving that they’re not just men, but that they’re men who are angry enough to resort to male-typical aggressive behaviors in order to get their way.  In stark contrast, by respecting the sexual and social boundaries of males, even in online spaces where physical strength has no bearing on who gets the upper hand, “transmen” are demonstrating their femaleness.

That’s not to say that there aren’t “transmen” who feel entitled to gay male spaces and who push boundaries.  There certainly are, but they have neither the rage nor the online numbers to do much about it other than be annoying.  “Transmen” are the little Goblins across the moat asking the men of Gay Castle to let down the drawbridge.  “Transwomen”, on the other hand, are the hoard of Orcs who overran Minas Lesbian and beheaded and ate the city’s inhabitants, but still cry to the prisoners about how oppressed and genocided they are.

Despite all of this, an oft-repeated talking point among trans people is that they allegedly have the brains of the sex with which they identify.  “Transwomen” in particular love claiming that they have “female brains”.  One needs to simply look at how these men behave both off and online - from their aforementioned entitlement to spaces that aren’t theirs to their male-typical obsession with breasts - to see that such a claim is bogus.

Keep in mind that this is all in spite of cross-sex hormone administration.  A decent percentage of the people I’m talking about are on so-called “HRT”.  The males are pumping themselves full of estrogen and the females are pumping themselves full of testosterone.  They’ll often claim that these hormones change their biology and even their sex.  The males, marinating in computers and gaming and programming as incels tend to be, will often liken their “estrogen dominance” to their “female brains finally running on the correct operating system”.

But if their behavior is anything to go by, they clearly don’t have female brains, and estrogen apparently has little to no effect on them, as they remain just as aggressive and sexually entitled as any other heterosexual male.  As for transmen, the fact that they haven’t overrun subreddits intended for gay men suggests that neither their “gender identity” nor their testosterone intake have overtaken their innate femaleness.

To summarize, the content that’s allowed on gay male subreddits vs whats allowed on gay female subreddits is a wonderful illumination of the nature of those who demand, but definitionally do not have, membership in those groups.
