[October 11 2022] Actual female Wikipedia admin goes out with a bang
Posted October 11, 2022 by LillaMy in Cancelled

A trans identified man made a request to become admin on Wikipedia, and an existing female admin replied to it with some common sense, so of course all hell broke loose.

This is the comment the admin Athaenara posted: "Oppose. I think the domination of Wikipedia's woman niche, for lack of a better term, by males masquerading as females as opposed to welcoming actual, genuine, real women who were born and have always been female, is highly toxic. Go ahead, "cancel" me, I don't care."(link)(archive)

She was blocked very quickly.(link)(archive) And they also deleted her original post from the page history, something that normally only is done for things like doxxing or blatant copyright violations.(link)

Some argued that her account must have been hijacked (not much common sense left on Wikipedia) but she confirmed it was her: "No, this is me, and my account is not compromised. I was almost astonished to see how swiftly I was blocked for opposing a current RfA candidate, regardless of my grounds. I was not at all astonished to see how swiftly cancel culture reached out to put a stop to my opposition. Carry on."(link)(archive)
