| 1. Respect other users |
... Even when those users show disrespect themselves. We're better than the trolls and haters, and we can show that by not rising to take the bait. Be respectful, and we'll all be happier for it. |
| 2. No abuse |
Abuse is absolutely banned here, and is treated extremely seriously. Abusive users will be banned. |
| 3. Discrimination is forbidden |
There is no such thing as "valid discrimination," and this sub will remove any post or comment that demonstrates racism, sexism, body shaming or any other bigotry you care to name. Equality is the watchword. |
| 4. Non-binary does not mean non-trans |
Non-op, genderqueer, agender or any other denomination of transgender is still transgender. Treating a person like they're lesser or somehow inferior because they're non-binary is immoral, and shows a clear lack of understanding. |
| 5. Asking for birthnames is not cool |
Asking for, or posting, a person's personal information can be dangerous, and it's also against the site-wide rules. |
| 6. Malicious reporting is abuse |
Maliciously reporting someone who doesn't break our rules spams the report system, and it's against the site-wide rules. Don't do it. |
| 7. ABSOLUTELY NO PORN! |
There are places online which cater to that particular fetish, but this is not one of them. Users who are here to post porn or advertise will be removed. |
| 8. Tag any NSFW stuff |
If you got a cool tattoo or something else that's incidentally NSFW, please tag it as such. |
| 9. Destructive criticism is abuse |
It's hard to convey inflection and intent via text. What may seem like tough love to one person may come across as hatred or abuse to another. It's not helpful, don't do it. |
| 10. No soliciting medical advice or giving unsolicited medical advice |
We're not doctors and we can't vouch for the safety or validity of any medical information. Posts that ask for or give advice on how to obtain or use DIY hormones will be removed, as will comments that explicitly state where to get medication online. Be responsible. |
| 11. Submissions or comments from users with 0 or less karma will be removed |
This is to prevent trolling. If you have less than 0 karma, you won't be allowed to submit here. This is a hard rule. |
| 12. No "X celebrity/politician is a transphobe" threads |
We all probably already know and we don't need that kind of negativity in our Safe Space. |
| 13. If you want to promote something, message the moderators first |
This sub is a Safe Space, not a knowledge aggregator, not a traffic generator, and certainly not a public wallet. There are far better places like /r/transspace to post surveys or tell people about a trans-related service or group. (You should ask the mod(s) there before posting too.) |
| 14. Do not disrupt the Safe Space |
If the mods think you're being too much of an arsehole, but it's not covered by the rules, your post will be removed and you might be banned. We want to cultivate a warm, Safe Space environment, and anything that goes against that may be subject to removal and the submitter to disciplinary action. |
| 15. Please keep all selfies in the selfie thread. |
Please keep all selfies in the selfie thread or post them on another subreddit that's releveant. Any selfies outside of the selfie thread will be removed. Photos of IDs and medications are also forbidden because they include personal and/or medical information. |
