So I made this post on reddit. Might regret later. Might regret posting it here but hope not, I love you all. Fuck it though. Yes I'm emotional, this just happened minutes ago.

I particularly want to highlight a conversation with a /r/shitliberalssay moderator I had.

I received this comment from a moderator in the original linked thread.

As I could not respond in the thread due to being banned. I PMd this moderator. The following is the complete conversation:

Fun highlights:

  1. Getting called a bitchass and having masculinity questioned, before they realised I was not a man.

  2. Being called a bitch, twice, after being asked not to use sexist slurs, in a series of events that was started by upset over misogyny.

  3. Being told I am a gaslighter many times, not once having anything quoted or the gaslighting explained.

  4. Transphobia. After stating I am a trans woman they responded "It is clear what the issue is now and I am very sorry that your society made you that way."

  5. REAL gaslighting by immediately changing the meaning of the transphobia in the followup after being called out for it. Then pretending that it was never a thing in the first place. Demonstrating that the accusations of gaslighting are a projection for behaviour they very intentionally engage in when it suits them.

  6. Don't get me started on how calling someone a gaslighter dozens of times without ever explaining or justifying IS GASLIGHTING. Claiming something untrue and repeating it over and over and over and over again until peoplee question whether it might actually be true is what gaslighting is. Do I need to explain to other marxists how this is how huge parts of this entire series of events has been conducted? Via gaslighting. Conscious gaslighting. Because they know that repeating it over and over and over and over again results in it slowly become a collective belief. That people begin repeating it. I should not have to explain this to other marxists, it should be readily obvious.

This is the same kind of behaviour I experienced from others in this clique after the very first event occurred. It is the reason I have been logged off since it all went down.

      That mod was using gender essentialist terms and rethoric though, which is not only unscientific, but also hella offensive to enbys.

      The sls mod has insanely shitty takes regarding the whole sexism thing in general, and then just starts claiming the other trans person was being transphobic?!?

      And the rest is rather damning shit as well.

          Tronaldo has apologized and explained what his mistakes were and why he made them. The SLS mod, meanwhile, has shown a repeated pattern of splitting leftist spaces online (nearly half a dozen at this point) and doubled down on petty abusive behavior. And Awoo didn’t even defend his actions. She was asking for healthier dialogue and for that was told to kill herself.
