GoFundMe has been known to cancel campaigns in the past that were politically disfavored by the company or its employees. The biggest example was when they cancelled the campaign to support the Canadian trucker convoy protest against mandated treatment with the experimental COVID vaccines. This was on the basis of trumped up claims of violence and hate symbols by the Canadian govt that do not comport with first-hand experience of people on the ground there. At first the company was brazen enough not to refund the donations and said they would donate them to other charitable causes, but after public outcry they agreed to refund the funds. Didn't help the donors whose bank accounts were subsequently frozen unlawfully by the Canadian govt.
All it would take in this case is for a motivated group of activists to petition the company to remove Colin's campaign on the basis that it promotes transphobia.
Thanks so much for your explanation Matt. That's pretty disgusting and frightening, but not surprising. I've been a victim of that myself for being transgender critical I've been restricted on XTwitter, Facebook and warned on YouTube for making a critical comment on a Corine Lucas YouTube video "Skin Suit" that calls women b*tches and sympathizes with serial killer of women who skins them. Amazing how they tolerate something like that but not someone questioning why they refer to women as subhuman (b*tches).
We truly are living through sustained information warfare and attempted mind control. Many are dimly aware that the the emperor has no clothes, but only a few are willing to say so publicly. Those that do are currently a small enough minority to police in this way. More of us need to start saying what we really think so that the flood of discourse becomes ungovernable.

I tried to like these last three comments but couldn't :(
'gender' critical suspensions are the largest category on the site. women, especially, are taking it from all sides atm.
