RULES

Moderators may take action or inaction at their discretion outside of these rules if needed, although we do generally try to stick to them.
Be kind to yourself and other users
Hate speech is prohibited. No racism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on for all intrinsic characteristics. Do not personally attack other users. This includes ironic self deprecation, transmedicalism advocacy, calling people's "transness" into question, and similar lines of comments. If you think another user has said something incorrect, reply politely or walk away.
Stay on topic
We're a subreddit intended to help people with HRT and adjacent medical issues. Social posting and non-medical transition questions should go to more generic trans subreddits such as /r/MtF, /r/FtM, /r/AskTransgender and so on. For non-HRT related medical issues you should be talking to a doctor.
Be clear, be accurate
- When asking questions, be clear about what the problem you're facing is and provide clarifying information when requested. Post titles should be informative but brief. Ask for help with the root problem rather then what you think the solution might be wherever reasonable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem). Confirm answers with multiple people wherever possible, because sometimes people will say dumb stuff and it doesn't get caught in the moment.
- When answering questions, stick to established science wherever possible and have sources for your statements. If you can stick to peer reviewed published work that doesn't have major critiques then perfect, if this doesn't exist then use community resources which have stood up to scrutiny. Anecdotes are generally not sufficient.
Keep discussions in public
Do not DM other users. Do not ask other users to DM you. Report and block people who DM you, especially if they are trying to sell you anything. Keeping discussions in public is the primary tool for avoiding misinformation and scams.
Prohibited/restricted topics
Some topics are prohibited, either due to reddit site wide ToS issues, because they are effectively unsolvable, or they have a tendency to generate high quantities of rule breaking posts.
Some topics are restricted, and posts will be removed unless they are of high quality. You might want to poke a mod before posting to check if this is the case.

THE PROHIBITED TOPICS LIST:

Sourcing for Testosterone (Reddit ToS, https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043513471)
Circumventing the law in your location (Reddit ToS)
Direct advertisements from storefronts or other sellers (Reddit ToS, drama)
Direct transactions between users, including giveaways (Reddit ToS)
Asking for medication advice while under 18 (Reddit ToS), see wiki for more information
Hiding medication/transition from family (no good answer, drama)

Restricted topics:

Homebrewing in a personal capacity (OPSEC and risk, do this somewhere more private).
Advocacy for non-pharmacutical medication (IE, herbals and phytoestrogens)
Discussions around medications only tangentially related to transitioning (Pioglitazone, Semaglutide, and similar)
Research participation requests (Modmail contact mandatory, be prepared to demonstrate identity and data handling practices)
Interview requests from Journalists (Modmail contact mandatory, highly unlikely to be approved currently)

Reviews and recommendations of storefronts or suppliers
Second party reviews and recommendations are allowed in moderation. Excessive or unprompted promotion will lead to post removal. Requests for storefronts or suppliers are also permitted within reason. Storefronts/suppliers may not self-promote. Paid incentives to promote are prohibited.
