I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don't know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.

Give me the lore, baby

    I assume you're referring to TC69 and Feinberg's Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue. That happened prior to the Vegan Struggle Session.

    Also, the people who complained about being asked to read it were losers.

      to add to this, Beyond Pink or Blue is a very easy read, it isn't like Capital where you have to wrestle with extreme dryness, over-explanation, 1800s writing style, etc.
      it's also really fucking short lol

      They weren’t asked, they were told. In those days most posters hadn’t even read the communist manifesto.

          Hence why people antagonized the mod who was demanding people read theory. They responded by starting a struggle/ban session over whether that dismissive attitude was bigoted.

          A lot of stuff was purged from those threads, it was a weird long running thing that antagonized people.

            Judging by the vibe of this thread alone I can tell that you seem to be one of the few that got antagonized by it.. Personally I valued TC69 posts a lot. Also your 4day old account is tempting me a lot to ask you to post hog

              I mean TC69 was absolutely very polarizing, mods still remove posts for 'TC69 slander' which may make it seem less polarizing but here leadership absolutely was.

            long running thing

            Funny you should say that. When I went looking for the thread, by searching "leslie feinberg trans liberation" and sorting from oldest to newest, I saw several attempts by TC69 to get people to read it, always very nicely, and pretty much invariably getting very few people on board. Then she made that thread I linked, and dozens of people read it. So tell me, from her perspective, why wouldn't she view the whole thing as a success?

            Your argument reminds me an awful lot of the people MLK was responding to in his Letter From Birmingham Jail.

              Lol what, did you just accuse of me of being a white moderate? TC69 or whatever was…intense. I just lurk now so I don’t know what happened to them
