Here's /u/Bardfinn raging against /r/ItsAFetish and /r/NeovaginaDisasters:
/r/ItsAFetish - a subreddit dedicated to the hoax pseudoscience that transgender people are "just a fetish", breaking their own sub rules; highly upvoting racist, sexist bigotry and hatred; violating the Reddit Content Policy against Harassment; platforming White Supremacist ecosystem users …

Original post before it got locked:
My aim in this post is to persuade you, the audience of /r/AgainstHateSubreddits, that /r/ItsAFetish (and its sibling subreddit, /r/NeoVaginaDisasters [warning: contents are highly graphic and disturbing]) :qualify as hate subreddits (their "rules" mean nothing; they host hate rhetoric and users from hate subreddits; they permit and encourage violations of the Reddit Content Policy against Harassment);
They're worth the effort to report their contents, in order to persuade the administration of Reddit, Inc. to at least Quarantine them.
This is a view of one post in /r/ItsAFetish. It is, however, representative of the kind and manner of content of the subreddit.
This was created as a set of screenshots and not a link to the thread, in order to stave off accusations by the showrunners of /r/ItsAFetish that I (or /r/AgainstHateSubreddits) aided or induced vote manipulation or harassment of the users in that subreddit or thread.
In the strongest possible terms:
Do Not Participate In The /r/ItsAFetish Subreddit.
And here is /r/ItsAFetish realizing that /u/Bardfinn is gonna come gunning for them:

I found /u/Bardfinn Penny Oaken's secondary account on Reddit. If you are already blocking /u/Bardfinn please block this account as well just in case he's using it as a backup account because he knows that people are blocking him:

Penny does not appear to use this account very much for posting, though there is a single lengthy post where he rationalizes his claiming transness. Curiously though, he does not mention being intersex in this post (only mentions meeting an intersex person), nothing about his (alleged) sealed vagina, his uterine tissue, his claims of being a Narnia or anything he mentioned in the other posts I quoted from:
My experience:
I was a girl in my dreams. I am a woman in my dreams. My nightmares from earliest youth featured Wicked Witches who attacked me, and attacked my friends - Margaret Hamilton, Wicked Witch of the West style witches. When I look in a mirror in my dreams, or stand "outside myself" and look at "myself" in my dreams, I am a feminine, girl / woman human being.
These troubled me, when I was young, given the culture I grew up in. I did not disclose these facts to anyone until I was an adult, and attended University (approximately thirty years ago).
I told my first lover about these things; She introduced me to a medically intersex person that she knows, and we compared notes. I cross-dressed and went to a few under-21 nightclubs incognito, and passed as a woman without comment or skeptical query.
Then, I had a traumatic experience where I was attacked and victimised by a bigot, who had a great deal of power, who "out"ed me to my entire social circle (he had the power to intercept my communications across the network my lover and I were using to communicate; At the time, almost nothing transmitted across the nascent Internet was encrypted).
I repressed my gender identity as part of the post-trauma disorder from that incident; Repressing who I am affected my subsequent romantic relationships.
Three separate relationships I've had over the past three decades, my partner expressed to me that I seemed "feminine" to her; (note, this was probably the first wife who was a drug addicted, who ended up cucking him in his own bed)
One of them I disclosed to, and she used the information to victimise me;
One of them I did not disclose to (out of fear, having been victimised twice before in direct relation to having disclosed), and I distanced myself from her (as part of hiding my inner identity), and our relationship fell apart. (Note: this was probably the second wife, the mother of his son whom Penny-then-Steve ended up dumping in 2009 after his trannie crush on Second Life, Maggie, unexpectadly died. Penny took a dump in this woman but he now claims to be the mom. And he claims that this is not "an appropriation of womanhood".)
I was driven to be "a man", and to behave a certain way socially, because I was expected to perform my birth cultures' expectations of what a "Man" should do -- and those expectations were dysfunctional for me. I was performing out of fear.
Morphologically -- again, for me -- looking at the genitalia I was born with, and the secondary sexual characteristics that come with it (body hair) is like looking in the mirror and seeing an insect's face looking back at me.
It's not just that it's "wrong"; It's that it's categorically wrong. It's not me. When I dream and I look in between my legs? That's the experience that feels right.
I have difficulty looking in mirrors. I hate the facial hair.
When I came out to friends and family, it was because I had reached a point in my life where I simply could not deny who I am - to myself, or to people who I have close relationships with.
I've come to terms that I'm never going to look as beautiful as I did in my dreams, that I'm never going to be physically beautiful, that I'm probably never going to "pass" again.
I call myself "homely".
I'm not trying to achieve a target of my culture's "categorisation" of "woman". I'm not trying to "colonise" or "appropriate" "womanhood".
I'm just trying to be me.
I like lipstick and dresses and makeup and pastel colours and fragrances and vanilla & rose oil. I like some "feminine" scents. I hate my body hair. I wear my hair long and wear "feminine" jewelry. These are part of my expression of myself. I do and feel and wear these because they're part of an expression of who I am -- not because they're "female" or female-coded.
I'm also deeply critical of the "Gender Critical" movement, which claims that transgender people are performing to fulfill specific gender stereotypes for ulterior motives.
I spent roughly four decades of my life performing a male stereotype so that I wouldn't be vulnerable / victimised / attacked / harmed. Gender Critical activists are simply trying to harm transgender people, and appeal to a variety of propagandistic techniques to leverage social sanction to their bigotry and hate.Neither science nor the traditional freedoms afforded to people by modern democracies and republics, are on their side.

According to this narrative he once met an actual intersex person and "compared notes", whatever that means. He does not mention being intersex himself though (or disclosing this to the other person), which is strange given how readily willing he was to disclose this in the other posts. In this post he just refers to his preference for "nice femme things" like jewelry, wearing his hair long and scents (Goth Dad, if you like flowery scents you're gonna looove the neovaginal discharge stench piercing right through it all and ruining everything. It's really not cure.)
I want to highlight this claim from the above post:
These troubled me, when I was young, given the culture I grew up in. I did not disclose these facts to anyone until I was an adult, and attended University (approximately thirty years ago).
If he's 41 one now (if we go by the 1978 birthday)... then how the fuck is it possible that Penny Oaken was in university thirty years ago? He went to uni when he was... eleven?
Not very good at simple addition and subtraction for such a Computer Science PhD alleged math genius, LMAO
Holy shit, this is really starting to look like this guy is totally bluffing his whole fucking lifestory LMAO.
This psychiatric patient, who can't his story or timeline straight from one post to the next, who has never provided any hard proof for any of his alleged credentials or archievements, this guy is considered a reliable respected Reddit mod and allowed to censor other people's speech. It's farcical. It's a scandal.
