      Idk, they’re also super terfy and classist. When I visited I thought it was chill at first but transphobic comments got massively upvote, even using r/gendercritical terminology.

      I feel like there’s probably places that have the good advice you might find there without the really toxic elements.

        Yeah i’ve definitely noticed the transphobic undercurrents as well. I’ve seen some people call it TRP for women but i don’t think that’s 100% accurate, definitely still a toxic place tho.

        What else can you expect when they refer to men as “scrotes”? In their mind ‘person with dick and balls’ = ‘man’. So what conclusion could they draw if a “scrote” enters their “female” only space?

        It seems to me that gender essentialist thinking is usually going to lead to transphobia.
