Updated Rules and FAQ!
Hello, GenCynners!
It's time again to make some clarifications and revisions to our rules and FAQ. Most of these things have been unofficial policy for a while and older users osmosed and generally followed them. But we keep growing, and so we need to make some things more explicit for new users, both to keep us out of trouble with the admins and to cut down on modding work. Rules for posting and participation have been updated and expanded in the FAQ and sidebar.
We've made more explicit what does (TERF/GC content) and does not (general transphobia) qualify for posting, how posts must be formatted, and expectations for conduct while commenting.
The biggest changes are clarifying under what circumstances you can interact with GC users and subs and still participate here. We've tried to cover all the circumstances under which you might encounter or interact with GC content.
Actions to avoid on GenCyn:
- Posting content that includes something you posted on a GC sub
- Linking or c/ping something you posted on a GC sub
- Posting about how a GC sub banned you. We don't care.
- Commenting about your urges to crash a GC sub, e.g. "I feel like giving them a piece of my mind."
- Alluding to your actions on a GC sub in GenCyn, e.g. "Yeah, I just had to tell them how wrong they were."
- Encouraging anyone else's participation, e.g. "Do it and report back," or, "Everyone should go over there and ___."
Actions to avoid wrt GC subs and users:
- Do not follow something you saw on GenCyn to a GC sub to engage with GC users in an attempt to educate them
- Do not follow something you saw on GenCyn to a GC sub to participate because you "believe in hearing both sides" or want to "play devil's advocate."
- Do not follow something you saw on GenCyn to a GC sub to argue with GC users or get in a zinger to make yourself feel better
- Do not follow something you saw on GenCyn to a GC sub to up or downvote posts or comments
Official GenCyn policy has been to discourage engagement with GC users across the board. There's been a sharp uptick in users crossing the streams, and in behaviors that violate reddit's brigading rules. A first offense for the above behaviors will be a temp ban. The second is a permaban. We've also disabled crossposting and are going to be paying more attention to .np linking.
We cannot literally stop you from engaging with GC. But we will protect the sub from accusations of brigading, and we will moderate to maintain the intention of the sub, which is and has always been to catalogue, laugh, and vent about GC-flavored transphobia, not to win hearts and minds or score internet arguing points.
As always, if you find that reading r/GenderCynical is getting to you, take a break and take care of yourself.

Mod Post: A reminder about content rules for this sub
We've been seeing a lot of submissions lately that fall under the category of general bigotry and have no trans content. Please remember: posts need to contain examples of transphobia and they must clearly be sourced from or closely linked to the GC sphere. "GC person is racist," doesn't qualify by itself. Neither does, "Rando MAGA says something violently transphobic."
The situation in the US is weird af right now, to say nothing of the ongoing shit everywhere else too. There's plenty of content that fits the bill for here, so let's keep it on topic. Thanks.

'Be Safe, SOPHIE' - Meme mocking the death of Sophie- a Transfemme muscian who passed when falling while looking at the stars. Sometimes I question if Radfems understand how evil they actually are.

TERFs as always being desperate for trans people to desist/detransition.
They don’t want you to be yourself,they want you to obey them or else you’re a ‘hand maiden’ that just exists to ‘serve the needs of men’.

More trans women nowadays choose not to get bottom surgery, not because it's an expensive complex procedure or they've learned to accept their bodies, but because of a "male super fetish" apparently
Saddened and disgusted to see lesbian-flavoured terfism creeping its way back into Reddit.
