First and foremost, this is a community to support, love, and provide resources for trans people. Anything that puts that in jeopardy will be removed.

This isn't to say cis people aren't welcome on here, but that most posts and discussions were made with primarily trans people in mind. It's okay to ask respectful, good-faith questions and to be genuinely curious about trans people. To be a good ally, you must listen with open ears and be willing to accept it when you're wrong. Remember that you are a guest here, and as such be respectful and kind towards the trans people whose home this is.

What this community is not:

  1. This is not a place to be a transmedicalist and gatekeep being trans. Trying to divide up the trans community to be against each other is a way to weaken us as a whole.

  2. This is not a place to "debate" being trans or trans people. Our existence and right to be ourselves is a given.

  3. This is not a place to be a TERF. You are not welcome here and will be permabanned for spouting TERF rhetoric.

  4. This is not a place to be a jerk and spread negativity. Don't say mean things or insult others, trans or not.

General trans community.

Rules:

  1. Follow all blahaj.zone rules

  2. All posts must be trans-related. Other queer-related posts go to c/lgbtq.

  3. Don't post negative, depressing news articles about trans issues unless there is a call to action or a way to help.
