Just starting another discussion (sorry tom!), about the gender community we have. gender@feddit.uk

The sub sidebar states that it is designed for balanced debate. It links to a gender-critical and anti-lgbt locations, while also linking to blahaj, and referring to beehaw as a hugbox.

@babe made a post the other day raising concerns with the posts arriving on the sub, and the mods locked it.

There are cross-posts from a community named parental-rights, a common dogwhistle for people wanting to block minor access to trans healthcare, and users posting about how trans healthcare is a conspiracy by the medical industry.

Someone affected directly by the issues being raised isn't going to want to stick around and argue with someone who thinks they shouldn't exist.
They're more likely to write off the whole server, and leave.

It's still early days on this instance, but imho this is not a good look for us.

Thanks Tom - this was the right decision. There should not be any space for these attitudes,
