Man here, I just doublechecked my blocks, and sure enough, respectfully blocked.

Yeah I didn't know about the rule when I replied to a post. I was thanked by the OP, then had my comment deleted by mods (based on username only).
Blocked the community, why shouldn't I if I can't even participate?

More power to you and all, but this sounds like getting mad at the radio DJ. Not everything has to be two-way communication, sometimes it's fun to watch others' interactions.

yeah but they picked the shitty radio edit and didn't even wait to the end to start announcing the next song, they stink!

I find it interesting that their objections are about the evidence used for bans, rather than claiming they were banned in error.
It's certainly not how I would respond if I were falsely accused of bring a man.

I wasn't saying they are wrong, just that the community is getting exactly what it wants. Less contribution and visibility on an already small platform.
I commented on a post about putting lotion in a zip bag, and my comment was about putting mayo in a squeeze bottle. Not exactly gendered discourse.
Kind of like a community that only accepts input from say, black people. A question about favorite pizzas being thrown out because my username doesn't confirm I'm black, it's just a little weird.

I would imagine they had more to go on than just the username. Its a small community, whenever someone joins for the first time the mods check their post history. I imagine they found something.
It is what the community wants. Its a comfy little space for girls to talk about girl stuff! The mods do an effective job maintaining that atmosphere.

Yeah, I'm afab agender, and I've got it blocked too. Nothing they've done to me, just because of past women's spaces saying I'm not woman enough to be there. Like, I was never really taught how to do my hair or makeup because neglectful mother, but I keep running into women that get angry because I see it as a hobby? I'm just too old for gatekeeping, and have zero desire to prove that I "deserve" to post in a restricted community.

Chat gpt is actually pretty good at it.

They do explicitly allow agender individuals

Eh, I've heard that before elsewhere, and it's always turned out to mean they only accept agender folks if they're femme enough. I worry that I would, once again, be too masc for a group that ostensibly supports me.
I already feel like the world would be better off without me, and I've already had other groups say I'm the bad kind of agender. Like, I used to say I was a tomboy, but then I got kicked out of the college women's group because its an offensive term?

You know when conservatives ask why supposedly tolerant groups are actually very intolerant? This is that, but like actually legitimate. It baffles me that these groups can operate like this and not realize the harm they're doing.

Yeah, there is sometimes a grain of truth to that sort of thing. I gotta be real careful talking about a lot of my experiences, because I know they sound like right-wing talking points, and I don't want to give them ammo against my side, y'know? It's frustrating, but there are bigger problems that need to be solved first.
