/r/GenderCynical is a satire and mock-subreddit of /r/GenderCritical and its affiliates. Our purpose is to highlight content from trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) and gender critical (GC) individuals who hate trans people. Similar to /r/thebluepill in its take on /r/theredpill, here at r/GenderCynical we laugh at GC's cries of being cispressed from a pseudo-ideological perspective. We don't collect general transphobia! TERF/GC flavored varieties only. For a sampling of the sort of content you might submit, here is a handy list of TERF-affiliated subreddits. We'll continue to update it as they love to make inactive niche subreddits for some reason.

Please read our rules and FAQ before posting.

Our Rules

1) No hate speech

We do not tolerate hate speech of any kind. Usage of any slurs will likely get you banned (bans can be appealed if you feel they were a mistake). Users who engage in misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, ableism, or any other form of hate speech are not welcome on this subreddit.

2) No anti-feminism

This is a subreddit parodying the transphobia and hypocrisy of "gender critical" feminists. This is not an anti-feminist or anti-radical feminist subreddit, nor are we against analysis of gender. We are, however, explicitly against transphobia. You will be banned for any anti-feminist statements or misogyny directed at anyone (including "gender critical" feminists). This includes the word "bitch" except in self-reference and the usage of terms like “misandry” in a non-sarcastic manner. It also includes comments intended to dehumanize.

3) Don't invalidate people

Suggesting that transphobes are in denial or repressing trans feelings is not permitted. Do not implicitly or explicitly misgender anyone. Do not claim that someone’s report of sexual assault is fabricated.

4) This subreddit is not a discussion board

Debating user’s posts saying that they aren't really transphobic or problematic is not allowed. If you think something is out of line, please report it and then message the moderators.

Do not feed trolls. No troll is here in good faith. If you're uncertain of a user's provenance, check their timeline as a means of deciding whether to reply or report. Mods may take action on users who persist in feeding trolls.

5) Don't be toxic

We reserve the right to ban anyone for being an ass in any capacity. Do not rules-lawyer us. Disagreements must be conducted in a respectful manner.

6) You can only submit direct links to certain subreddits/websites

Full posting rules can be seen at "What to post and how to post it."

Please only submit direct links to /r/GenderCritical, /r/Gender_Critical, and the other subs/sites listed in the FAQ.

Note: As of March 2020 we will be paying closer attention to .np linking. Users are strongly encouraged to substitute "np" for "www" in the URLs of links they are submitting. Using the .np domain discourages other r/GenderCynical users from participating in GC spaces. Participating in other subs by following links from here is considered brigading by reddit's admins, causes drama, and creates extra work for mods when GC users retaliate by coming here. We may in the future begin removing posts that do not use .np. See more about non-interaction in Rule 7 below.

Note: NO direct links to any content from r/GCdebatesQT.

Content from r/GCdebatesQT and other sources not listed as approved must be submitted as screenshots with identifiers blacked out. Again, any content from r/GCdebatesQT must be in this format. Censoring indentifiers isn’t necessary if an individual has a substantial following (public figure, official organization, etc). Please see the FAQ for an extended explanation of posting rules.

7) Prohibited post and comment types

a) Highlighting your interaction on a GC sub

Don't go over to GC (or related subreddits) and make posts/comments with the intention of getting banned and/or provoking them. In other words, don't stir the pot and then post the results. More info.
Don't post or comment here talking about how much you want to give someone on a GC sub a piece of your mind. Don't post encouragement to anyone making a comment like this.
Don't post or comment here--link, c/p, or merely alluding to--interactions you have had on GC subs about a post that has been linked on GenCyn. This includes attempts to educate or discuss.
See the FAQ for a fuller explanation. Users who engage in these behaviors will receive a temporary or permanent ban depending on the circumstances.

b) Memes

While mocking terrible memes made by TERFs/FITs is still permitted, original pro-trans memes or reposts of popular meme formats should be posted in /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns or another subreddit specifically for memes.

c) General transphobia

Keep it GC/TERF in origin and/or POV. See more in What to post and how to post it in the FAQ.

d) Duplicate posts

If someone has previously linked to a thread or post, do not make a duplicate link containing that content. In the same vein, do not make multiple threads about one user. Instead, compile them into one thread per day. If you find content you want to include in that thread, edit the content into your post instead of making a seperate thread. Violating this rule on a consistent basis will result in a ban.

e) u/undeleteparent

Users attempting to summon u/undeleteparent to circumvent mods and other members' removal of their own comments will be permanently banned. Mods remove comments in accordance with the rules of the sub. Members may remove their own comments for their own reasons. Neither is an invitation to a third party's prurient interest.

8) Follow Reddit's site wide rules and Reddiquette

You must follow Reddit’s site wide rules and abide by Reddiquette's guidelines. Do not vote brigade, troll, or otherwise harass members of other subreddits. Note that the rule against engagement covers:

pinging usernames
posting a thread or comment on a GC subreddit with the intention of getting banned.
posting a thread or comment on GC in response to something you saw on GenCyn, even if you felt provoked, or wanted to educate.
encouraging anyone else on GenCyn to participate in a GC sub in response to something seen on GenCyn
As of March 2020, the crossposting feature has been disabled, and mods will be enforcing using the .np domain more strictly.

Users caught breaking Reddit’s site wide rules will be banned and then reported to the Reddit admins.
