Howdy everyone!
Us mods decided to try an experiment with the sub when we moved over here, and loosened our restriction on certain types of content - namely, we opened up broader conversations about gender identity as a whole, and wanted to be less strict about making sure there had to be an LGB focus.
Yeeeaaahhh ... experiment failed, we're rolling that back and will be enforcing rule 2 much more strictly.
We made this sub to represent LGB people who want to separate from the greater LGBTQ+ movement. We made this sub so LGB people would have a space to express our frustrations with the way the movement is erasing us, and to refocus on what WE need.
We didn't make this sub so people had a space to dump out all their frustrations with gender identity. We didn't make this sub to be "Gay Gender Critical". We didn't make this sub to be a place to meme on trans or Q+ people, or call them names.
We're seeing the sub shift in that direction though, instead of elevating LGB concerns and issues.
We highly encourage someone, anyone, to make s/ThereAreTwoGenders so that kind of content can be shared there. Hell, we'll even support you and add you to our sub list!
Going forward, we will again be removing content that isn't clearly relevant to LGB.
Remember, you thinking it's relevant doesn't necessarily *demonstrate* that. With any content you share, you kinda need to ask yourself, "Why should LGB see this? Why does the world need to know this about LGB or TQ+? How does it make LGB appear to be sharing about this?"
If you're struggling to answer those questions, then outsiders looking in won't be able to either. So you'll need to rethink your approach, or share in a different sub.
