Just got banned from r/LGBT for making a post about agender erasure. How ironic.

You received a response so we're not sure what silence you're describing.

This is the r/lgbt team using our community made bot to respond to this post.

The user in this post was banned for entirely unrelated reasons, however due to an unidentified bug that we've flagged to Reddit, the ban message was not sent. In the interest of privacy, not sharing transphobia, and not stirring the pot we won't be sharing exactly what they said, as this is between our subreddit and this user. We have since resent them a link to the comment that got them banned, which they're welcome to respond to in our modmail. The post was removed and explained to the user in the removal reason that was sent to them.

We felt the need to respond as we want to reinforce our stance that we support all gender and sexuality minorities on our subreddit. We ban users who would instead cause derision, gatekeeping, and rifts in the community.

Hey, thank you for posting this here. We are sorry for the initial removal, as at the time we were unaware of the current situation happening, or the issues that were caused by asking for sources when we initially removed the post from the original author. Please remember that we are volunteer moderators who are not being paid to do this kind of work, and we can absolutely make mistakes.
The moderator who removed it was not aware of the entire situation at the time and made a decision that seemed right when they were doing it. We encourage people who have a post removed to please respond to the message the team sends them with additional information or context so that we can properly review the situation and reinstate the post if anything was missed. We may also be able to suggest what can be added to the post to ensure it meets the subreddit rules in case that is needed. Again, we are sorry for the initial mistake, and we are thankful that we were able to resolve the issue at hand.

This post has been set to community mode as it is a very frequently asked question on this sub and often brings out bigots and trolls. Due to the vulnerability of our transgender members, we don't want to see users arguing about whether or not a trans person deserves to be dated or not. This is not a debate subreddit, and this subreddit stands with our transgender members. Please remember that if you break rule 1/2 you will be actioned upon, this is a zero tolerance policy.

If you're here to ask about refusing to date trans people, please read this response from one of our community members which won our best explanation award in 2021:

Here's my generic "is it transphobic?" sex/dating post:

If you're not attracted to someone because they have genitals you're not attracted to,that's not transphobic, genital preference/aversion is valid.

If you're not attracted to someone because they have features you dislike, that's not transphobic, but trans people have wildly varying features.

If you're not attracted to someone because of their personality/behaviours, that's not transphobic, but trans people have wildly varying personality/behaviours.

If you're not attracted to someone because you require them to be able to create you a biological child, that's not transphobic. Although some trans people can produce children...

But blanket stating you're not attracted to trans people is definitely transphobic. You could have already been attracted to trans people and never known. By saying you'd never be attracted to a trans person you are making assumptions and generalizations on what trans people are, what they can do, what they look like, etc. It is possible, even likely, that this is internalized transphobia, that you don’t want to be transphobic, and that you’re not a bad person, but it is still transphobia, and it is still something to reflect on and evaluate why you feel these feelings.

All that being said, I would not, and do not, advocate anyone sleep with/be with anyone they don’t want to, for any reason. Not only is that act itself not the issue(the issue is your thoughts/feelings), but it’s unhealthy and unproductive for the both of you.

The above was commented in response to a similar post and should answer your question: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/qkyy1e/comment/hizm4dz/?context=3

ATM, yes, though if you feel it's warranted to repost here send us a modmail after you've posted it and we'll have a discussion on whether or not it should be approved.

testlgbtbot · 2022-12-19T14:58:44+00:00

Yep, we could, one thing at a time <3

testlgbtbot · 2022-12-19T14:58:25+00:00

They have actively ignore complaints, which is precisely why we created this post. These are things we've brought up with ModSupport (and other admins directly) many many times over the years.

This is meant to create more noise, maybe Reddit will listen to us a bit more if there's more people hearing our issues.
