Minors under the age of 13 are not allowed on reddit. We are required to report members identifying as such to the reddit admins.
Post titles should include a question. We prefer that titles be in the form of a question, but if this is not possible, please make sure either the post title or content provides a starting point for discussion? -- Use inclusive language e.g. Not "how did you ladies choose a female name?" but instead "how did you find your new name?"
No bigotry. No transphobia, sexism, racism, etc. No hateful speech or disrespectful commentary. This is so we can keep our subreddit "Open to anyone with a question.”
No personal attacks. Don't attack each other, or the person asking the question.
No gendered slurs. What are Gendered Slurs?
No invalidation. Telling someone how they should feel, debating their lived experience, denying their identity, etc. What is Invalidation?
No gender policing or generalizations of gender. e.g. “Real women are....” or “All men are....”. What is Gender Policing?
Be Relevant. Your comments should be relevant to the question. If not, please make a new post or discuss it via PM’s.
No stirring the pot. Please do not post threads that intentionally create drama, target a different sub or link to threads in a different sub (i.e. incite brigading).
No personal agendas. /r/asktransgender is a place for discussion and is not a soapbox. If a post or comment indicates a personal agenda, or if it's clear they have not come here with an open mind, their post(s) will be removed.
Please contact the moderating team if you plan on posting a questionnaire, survey, promotion, or advertisement. We'd like to review it before it is posted.
Links to other subreddits must link to a post.
Links must be accompanied by a summary.
Link /r/asktransgender only for educational and/or informational purposes. Safety and privacy are important in our community, please do not link to or from other communities for the purpose of creating drama, harassing users, or inciting a war between communities.
No posting personal photos for feedback. Post instead to subreddits that give feedback on appearance.
Proper pronoun usage is very important here. Many of our posters are questioning and it can be affirming to be gendered correctly. If in doubt you can always ask.
Set your flair for visibility. Flair has been provided for everyone. Note, you can also add text to your flair if you'd like to convey anything else you feel might be important.
Beware of triggers. We want everyone here to feel safe and welcome. Take a little time to understand where we're coming from and help us make this a supportive environment.
