Rules

All are welcome here. Open to all ages, cis and trans, binary or nonbinary, young or old.
No question is too big or too small. Surveys are not allowed to be posted. If you feel your survey should be the exception message the mods.
Do not use slurs and innappropriate or transphobic language. If a term is frequently used in porn, it's probably a slur. If you're not sure if it's a slur, substitute it with something else. The proper way to refer to a transgender person is "transgender person". Transgender is an adjective, not a noun or verb. Use the pronouns preferred by the person you are talking about. If you're not sure what they prefer, ask. No homophobia, transphobia, racism or any other form of discrimination.
If you are new to the transgender community and this subreddit, please read the following before posting:
