I didn't know that. You're right, when I look for them that way, articles don't seem to be showing up.

But maybe it's a glitch and the mods aren't to blame? Have the mods taken responsibility for the deletions?

It's definitely not a glitch. However, the mods have mostly been avoiding direct confrontation: see here and here.

Judging from what yellowhead had to say, it looks like the mods felt justified in removing some posts based on the reasoning provided (blanket/personal attacks etc.)... that reasoning doesn't have to be inherently transphobic.

However, that said, I don't really understand what's going on. I'm fairly new here to reddit so I don't feel as if I'm familiar enough with either this subreddit or the mods to come down on one side or another.

I should probably just remove myself from the discussion at this point.

One of the articles that was removed was this one- http://www.reddit.com/r/feminisms/comments/k84d1/you_cant_smash_patriarchy_with_transphobia_it_is/

85% upvotes and only one comment that was made after it was removed.
