I believe that this situation requires a little bit of explanation. Trans activists on reddit have run cis lesbians nearly off of the site and have taken over spaces for cis lesbians. The subreddit r/actuallesbians frequently has posts filled with entirely MtF "lesbians" and often discusses how lesbians should be prepared to take the female penis, lest they be labeled transphobic. r/askgaybros is a subreddit made up of cis male gay men and they are hostile to FtM people who come to their subreddit to stir up similar drama saying that they must fuck the mangina, or they are transphobic. So far, askgaybros has survived without reddit intervening but lately r/againsthatesubreddits has featured them.

GarlVinlandSaga posts at askgaybros and appears in several threads today. Someone from outside askgaybros decided to make a post telling them that againsthatesubreddits was targeting them.

There is a lot of discussion in the thread about how the harassment of their subreddit has been ongoing. There's also a lot of discussion of Steve and his sordid past. That must have agitated him, because he decided to make a post on Againsthatesubreddits and stick it to the top of the subreddit (though it now appears to be unpinned and replaced by something else he wrote - he might have figured out that his post was backfiring on him.)

This is that post. He accuses the person who made the post at askgaybros of being a Nazi. Of course, askgaybros has loose moderation, most mods don't look into the history of people who post and the person's post at askgaybros had nothing to do with right wing politics, it simply told them that they had been featured at againsthatesubreddits. For Steven though, guilt by association is a useful tool...but...

This post showed up at askgaybros that is all about Steven and his past.
In short, a war is happening. There is some good discussion. This comment really struck me the crux of the whole issue.

"Because once upon a time, the gay movement was started by men who were tired of getting attacked because they preferred penis.
History has ironically gone full circle, and people who claim to be members of the LGBT community are now attacking gay men for preferring penis, because having preference and rejecting trans men is apparently super-duper bad.
We see through that bullshit and resist it.
The reason lesbians are getting erased is, hilariously, ironically, because the trans women obsessed with lesbians are invading their spaces by wielding the male privilege they claim they don't have."
