Seems like Blahaj is defederating from Feddit.uk due to insufficent moderation of transphobia.
Just normal terf Island things.

British transphobes continue to be awful. Fucking hell.
Transphobia is deeply ingrained in the British mindset. Even some of our "communist" parties are transphobic and claim that "gender identity is bourgeois". Trans people are arguably treated worse by the British left than American religious fascists. That's how bad it is.
I've watched some UK TV programs so I consider myself on expert on British culture and I can't figure out why they are so shitty about this issue in particular, even compared to Burgerland.
I have not done a lot of investigation, any comrade with better knowledge is welcome to correct me.
It's my understanding the problem is the different waves of feminism. Second wave feminism took hold in the UK and informed a lot of the rhetoric and social understanding of gender, they tended to be more focused on biologic sex markers and tend toward anti-trans positions. UK women's groups and feminist organizations still tend toward this second wave. Whereas in the US It was third or fourth wave feminists that really took hold on campuses and was the base of a lot of the political groups.
Shaun has a video on transphobia in the UK that might be enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91_5OOmK1TQ
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
the UK never had a bourgeois revolution or grappled with their toppling as world hegemon and their politics is still firmly stuck in 100 year old colonial mindset
I'm gonna guess colonialist mindset cause what else would it be
more than some
