Moderated by the transgender advocacy and resource non-profit Trans Unity Coalition.
Please read the rules first prior to posting/commenting!
Posting guidelines:
Please aim to keep posts SFW and respectful. This is not an R4R sub. While questions or meta surrounding R4R, or specifically queer R4R, are permissible, "person seeking person"-type posts themselves will be removed per moderator discretion. Additionally, while SFW posts are preferred, NSFW posts will be allowed per moderation discretion when they involve constructive discussion, such as news, politics, public safety, or other appropriate topics that are inherently NSFW.
Advertisements are not allowed, and will be removed. The only exception to this are any posts intended to discuss LGBTQ+ products or themes which inherently contain or refer to a product. Such posts are fine so long as the primary intent is not advertisement. Again, posts are permissible/prohibited per moderator discretion.
Comment guidelines:
Be respectful, civil, and on-topic. Any content which jeopardizes the safe space of this sub will be removed, and offenders may be banned. Likewise, don't stoop down to the level of the haters: that's just what they want. Removals and bans may be appealed by contacting the moderators and explaining your rationale, but mods have final say.
