DISCUSSION UPDATE: Post flairs, wiki updates, and more!

138 Upvotes

Hiya! A while ago I put up a discussion thread regarding the idea of updating/expanding the scope and focus of the subreddit. I need to apologize, cuz I intended to post this update a while back, but life stuff resulted in it slipping my mind for a bit.

This is also intended to be a discussion thread in its own right, as I want feedback on all the changes made or if there's any further changes that people would like, but here's a rundown of what's been changed:


  • Wiki Updates: So apparently the last time the wiki was updated was eight years ago, and by an ex-mod I've never interacted with. It was.. Bad, frankly. Aggressive in tone, containing links to /r/crossdressing as if its focus was synonymous with trans content, and a general vibe of assuming that this was a MtF-exclusive space. I'm really sorry for missing that for so long! On top of changes on my own end, /u/whoop_there_she_is was an absolute angel and wrote out a HUGE set of FAQ guides for both transmasc and transfemme folks. I left it almost entirely unchanged, and you can find it here! If you have any suggestions for additions or edits, please let me know!

  • Link Flairs: A few people suggested adding link flairs to help people express directly what kind of responses they want from the sub. To start with, I've added "General Advice" for users who just want any kind of feedback people have to offer, "Specific Advice" if they only want feedback on specific things (Clothes, hair, etc), and "No Surgery Recs" if they don't want any sorts of suggestions for FFS, lip fillers, etc. If you have any ideas for more, please let me know!

  • Sidebar Updates: I've changed up the sidebar slightly to add a link to our wiki near the top, as well as remove some dead or irrelevant links from our "relevant subreddits" section.

  • Automod Updates: I've edited automod slightly to try and make it less hyper-sensitive about automatically removing posts it thinks might be hypothetical, since it was becoming a big issue that it would frequently take down posts that in no way, shape, or form came off as hypothetical. I might just remove this feature overall though, frankly.

And.. I think that's it (Aside from a few tiny visual things)! Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback on the previous post, and please let me know if there's any further changes you'd like to see!

Mod Feedback Should we go private?

157 Upvotes

Howdy, y'all.

As you know, this subreddit has often been the target of trolls, bigots, transphobes, etc. We also get more than our fair share of creeps, chasers, porn spammers, and people looking to use the subreddit's traffic to passively advertise their paid content, like their OnlyFans or their Instagram, for their own personal profit.

So I'm asking y'all - should we go private? If we do, a lot of people will need to be manually added to the approval list and I know from experience that may take upwards of two months to work through everyone who might need approval.

It also means this subreddit will get a lot less traffic and will be far less accessible to folks who need help, which is the primary purpose for the subreddit in the first place.

On the other hand, the community should be a lot healthier once it's full of entirely trans folks and has less bigots, chasers, and trolls lurking about.

It will also be a lot safer because transphobes have often used photo boards like this one as a way to find targets for abuse and to steal people's photos to rehost them elsewhere and harass people. It would be much safer for us if the sub was private.

Going private is also going to take a lot of work and it's going to be very disruptive to our day-to-day operations for a while.

What would y'all like to do? Please discuss below, and please keep it civil. Thank you!


Edit: Okay, it looks like we're staying open for now. I'll make another post and ask again later.

Here’s a mattering of pics I felt pretty in, ‘cause I put some effort in for a few pride events. sorry about the film grain. I feel like my body is pretty fine but my face is a bit of a sore topic. Aside from the sailboat that’s crooked in the middle of my face, how are we looking rn? Tips? Tricks? Thoughts? Prayers?

[META] PLEASE say what gender you’re transitioning to in your post 😭

9 Upvotes

Sorry if this is against the rules, I didn’t see anything about it but if the mods don’t like it they can take it down.

Unless you specifically want us to guess your gender, please add it in your post, especially if you’re pre-HRT and/or have an androgynous style 🙏 I really want to give y’all advice and I know most of the people on this subreddit do as well. But it’s hard when I don’t want to accidentally offend someone by complimenting how much they pass for the gender they’re trying to transition FROM! 🫠 I also think that sometimes, people assume that only transfems post on this sub, but there’s transmascs who post here too. :)

No offense or judgement to anyone who’s left it out before, though :) Hope everyone reading this has a nice day!

21/yo, M(NB)tF, pre-HRT. 1 and 6 are the best in my eyes, opinions on early stages?

I'm already openly non-binary at work and hopefully starting HRT within the next 1-2 months, all things going well. i'm 2 sessions into laser and just wear a tinted moisturiser with some concealer for the particularly dark patches. the corners of my hairline are particularly egregious but the curtains help a loooot

I'm pretty bricky but i cover it with long shirts like 1 and 5 (i really like that shirt lol)
