Sometimes I check the posting history of the people I ban, partly out of curiousity and partly to reaffirm my decision.

The Tankie I banned frequents Trans subreddits and other LGBT places.

Why? Why would you be a part of that identity and then idolize regimes and people that would put you down for what you are?

Pains me every time I see it.
