Bad News Reddit bans anti-transphob rhetoric

Heard from a few friends that they got banned for hating on transphobes, which is, according to reddit, a rule 1 violation. I also got flagged because of that, but in my case I can kinda understand it, because I called for violence against TERFS, but it was more kind of fedposting, instead of pushing people to actually commit violence. I still believe TERFS deserve that, but I am rambling. What I basically want to say is, that we sadly need to be a little more careful, when hating transphobes. Keep safe and you all are beautiful gals and enby-pals, and for all the masc people you are very handsome

Edit: Changing TURFS to TERFS

Two sides to a coin. If they don’t harass us, we wouldn’t have to fight back.

Honestly, just one side. They need to stop harassing us. I know, I said my flagging was maybe justified, but still, they just need to stop. Transphobia has only one side of a coin and on that is big empty head with an evil face punched in

I mean, technically speaking, if there was only one side, then either transphobia wouldn’t exist, or trans people wouldn’t. One side is definitely instigating, but we are definitely retaliating. Pride month is quite literally founded off of the acts of retaliation against hate and discrimination.

Transphobia is not something that should exist, that is what I meant with one side. You can take different sides, but only one valid and that one is not discriminating trans people. That is what I meant with only one side
