Hello everyone! 😊

I wanted to make a post reaching out to the community after we recently passed the milestone of 2K subscribers! I’m very happy with how this community has grown and become a place for transfeminine people to vent and connect and share trans joy.

With the continued growth of the community and the recent wave of new subscribers we have been having some issues with trolls coming in to the community to bully or harass our users. Please be vigilant of transphobic trolls and report any and all rule breaking content that you see. That includes bullying comments, dismissive comments, gate keeping comments - even if those comments are coming from other trans people. Report them, this community is first and foremost meant to be supportive and maintaining that is a priority.

Along those lines, please don’t overly engage with anyone coming here to cause trouble or to bully someone. It’s not worth your time and just draws more attention to our community as a space these trolls are drawn to. Its entirely possible at some point in the future we may face brigading or other harder to deal with moderation issues. And to that end I will at some point in the future be looking to add another moderator. As of the moment I dont feel that’s necessary, but as we continue to grow and our moderation needs expand I will continually reassess.

I’m also happy to allow image posts in this community, but I did recently add a new rule of no NSFW image posts. And we haven’t had any yet, but bear that in mind as any that come up will be removed. I think that having image posts is fine in general, though I’m interested to hear if other people think this should be a text post only community more similar to r/mtf.

    Thank you for your hard work @LadyAutumn!

    I really enjoyed having the old sub on Reddit being text post only, but I completely understand with our population being so small if it’s better to allow for image posts too.
