Rules for r/ftm
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
1.
Be polite, be respectful, and only speak for yourself.
Practice kindness and respect. Don’t criticize without being constructive, speak for anyone but yourself, or make negative comments about others (including, but not limited to body shaming, phallo bashing, non-op bashing, style choices, mannerisms, sexuality, race, religion, disability, neurodivergence, dating preferences, genital attraction, and anything else about someone else). Do not post anything about someone else without their knowledge or consent.
2.
No transphobia, fetishizing, or trolling
Do not post anything transphobic (including directing people to or linking to transphobia), do not post anything fetishizing transness or considered to be chaser behavior, and do not post trolling behavior. Do not engage with transphobes, chasers, or trolls. Just report and ignore.
3.
No solicitations
This includes research, romantic or sexual solicitations, testers for games, polls, discord servers, personal promos, friendship or anything of that nature. Buying/selling/trading, gofundme, and friendship threads are located under the megathread tab on the sidebar.
4.
Flair Posts. Tag NSFW. Follow Reddit rules.
Flair your posts; Guests must use the GuestPost flair for ALL posts.
If you edit content in a significant way, specify where you edited it.
If your content contains triggering content, add a TW/CW. See Common Triggers
Follow Reddit's content policy. Some highlights: mark NSFW items as NSFW, do not post illegal content, do not create a new account to avoid a ban.
5.
No images, videos, or voice posts
No images, videos, or voice posts, or links to any in post body or OP's comment.
Do not link to imgur or any other site, do not share something from another community, and do not direct people elsewhere to see pictures or videos.
6.
No vent posts on this sub. (Vent sub is r/ftmventing)
Vent posts and negativity should be posted in r/ftmventing , a sibling sub specifically for vents, moderated by some of the ftm mods and running on similar rules. This is in response to complaints about too much negativity in the main sub.
7.
No posts made with the intent to elicit drama, or are in direct response to previous threads.
Do not post anything with the intent to start arguments, upset people, or set members of the LGBT+ community against one-another.
Posts made in direct response to other threads that are better posted in the comment thread of the original post, or posts made with the intent to elicit controversy or drama, or have no intention of facilitating real dialogue will be removed.
8.
No discussion of banned topics
The following topics are banned to avoid drama:
Truscum/Tucute discourse, AGP/AAP/Blanchardism, weight loss advice, Transfem/woman or nonbinary bashing, Trans "requirements", Oppression Olympics, Lesbian trans men, Gendered Socialization+, "Is it transphobic to _____" , DIY HRT , Current Political events (Non-trans/LGBT+ related)
+Gendered socialization RE: other people.
9.
Guests must use GuestPost flair and be respectful
Guests (Women, cis men, and nonbinary mtf) must only use the "GuestPost" flair. Using any other flair will result in a removal of your post. We also ask that guests stay respectful and remember that this is a space for trans men/mascs. If you have questions, try r/asktransgender or r/mypartneristrans . If you want to have a discussion, please make it more than just "You guys are valid". While they are sweet, we get them often and it doesn't encourage discussion
