These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

Scroll down to bottom. Click "Modlog". There is an option to filter for your username.

You are apparantly banned for what mods are describing as "Transmedicalism".

From reading their posts, op is either sarcastic to a degree that does not play well on the Internet, or continually dip their toes into communities with highly charged opinions and then acts surprised when their peers take offense.

The transmedicalism accusation is borderline spurious and I think the accusations is extreme given what I read (they're more taking note of the difference between fashion expression and gender. They're not saying who is it isn't trans to gatekeep, they're presenting the idea that some people might be less confused and make different life choices if more people tolerated traditionally-gendered subjects (like clothing and makeup) from anyone without judgement

When an identity seems to be defined by appearance/presentation to those who don't understand it personally, assuming the identity would occur less frequently if social norms were less restrictive does make sense. Like personally I don't think drag would be a thing if it wasn't a bit of a response to gender norms. I mean even if society didn't care about which gender wears which clothes some guys would get dolled up and even do essentially the same performative thing because some people just love to perform, but it wouldn't be the same thing that drag is now and it wouldn't be controversial to bigots. I mean women wearing pants was a huge fucking deal for no real reason and nobody really cares anymore.

But using clothing choices as a reason someone might be trans misses the point that a lot of trans people wore jeans and t shirts before and after transitioning because there is far more to it than the superficial appearance of clothing choice.

I think reading it as "clothing choices as a reason someone might trans" is reductive of the point being made

That was not the point being made at all. Precisely the opposite, that being trans *** is not *** about clothing choices, but a physical characteristic of suffering from sex dysphoria over specific physical traits that goes away when those traits are corrected. This is my experience as a trans person.

On the other hand being gender fluid and identifying with other GNC subcultures is not about such physical issues.
