They were banned for transphobia. Finish that comment. Don't cherry pick their words. Transphobia and bigotry are against the rules here. As a cis person, I don't get to decide what is transphobic; trans people do.

I don't think they got banned? not sure

I didn't post the whole comment precisely because it got removed by a mod.

In my view, the moderation of a forum should be based on rules, not on individual's judgements.

I banned them. And transphobia is against the rules of this entire instance (not just this community).

If we can tell the differences between woman, why do different rules apply depending if youre born woman or not?

Besides having an opinion about something that doesnt affect you, seems quite reasonable is it not?

Trans women were born a woman. I'm not trans so I don't get to decide what is or isn't transphobia just like I don't get to decide what's racist towards black people because I'm not black. I don't get a vote because it doesn't affect me.

You aren't the judge of when someone is or isn't a woman, though. The only person whose opinion matters in that case is the woman herself.
